Re: Windows Vista Home and Internet Explorer opening multiple wind

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have to admit, I actually found a fix for my issue, and it was much
simplier than I had thought. In the Internet Options window, in the advanced
tab is a reset internet explorer button that will remove all plugins that
have been added. It resets IE back to its default setting. You need to read
the warning though, because it does set the entire browser back to its
original state, including resetting the default home page. This did fix the
issue. I'm not sure what caused this, it started after updating one of the
windows recommended updates, and restoring back from my earlier restore point
didn't even fix this.

Lesson learned after days of not being able to use IE!

Thans again!

Hello? IE7 is built into Vista. You cannot remove it.
