    Simple IE question - new window

    When I press Ctrl+N in IE to open up a new browser window, it'll load up the same page that I was viewing in the first window. Is there anyway to default the new window to about:blank?

    This is IE! I'm sure there's a setting for this, I've seen other people opening new windows defaulting to the home page!

    I dunno.....IE and simple in the same sentence....seems like an oxymoron to me.

    Not sure how to do it with IE because every time I read anything M$ writes I end up so far away from the original fact of why I was reading in the first place I get frustrated so I quit reading it. [end of tangent]

    PowerBrowse - ¾ down the page-

    I am sure there are other ways, this is just mine.

    No, and I'm thinking that what I saw may have been a figment of my imagination, because all the browsers I see now open up the same page!!

    Am I crazy?

    If it's any frustration for you, I've switched to Mozilla.



    I'm still hopeful for a solution for this...

    Use Opera, its New WIndow is default empty, and new tabs are default blank
