An existing IE window is restored each time I open a new link. (minora annoyance)

Hi folks,

Here is the situation. I like to have several IE window open at a
time. Sometimes, if I have several windows open and stacked and try to
open a stored html document it will cause one of my existing IE
windows to be brought to the front before the doc is displayed in its
own window.

I would like to just have the doc open without bringing the existing
IE window to the front. Any ideas?

TIA!

Details?

IE version? Tabs? OS? Etc.

FYI a few IE7 users who do not use tabs have made
similar complaints. Fix: use tabs. ; )
