Sorry, but I have never had it open a new IE9 window for everytime I clicked on the pinned IE9 icon on the taskbar. It only opened a new window the first time I clicked on it. Afterwards, it just shows the thumbnail previews of opened IE9 tabs and windows, or minimizes/maximizes a single opened window when I click on the IE9 taskbar icon.Thanks for your replies .....no wonder I am having trouble finding a solution if you experts can't
I definitely didn't use quick launch.
I can assure you in my taskbar I used to have only two icons pinned ......windows mail and also i/e 9
When I clicked on the mail icon, obviously that opened and used the mail icon to show it had opened, that left just the i/e 9 icon. If I clicked on that the icon remained and an ie page opened. If I clicked on it again another ie opened.
Would love to know how I done it
Are you able to set your middle mouse button to be "middle click" to use that to click on the IE9 taskbar icon to open a new window each time as logicearth posted?Last edited by Brink; 13 Jul 2011 at 12:15.

Yes I can and all the other suggestions do work but not as well as I used to operate it.
Thanks for your time (everyone).
I will not give in yet though

What you have been experiencing was probably just a bug; reinstalling fixed it, and that's it. If you really want to keep just one click, use middle click instead of left click as suggested.

TheEagle54 - same issue
I have exactly the same issue. TheEagle54 is correct. I accidentally unpinned IE 11 from my taskbar and can no longer L-click and get IE to open a new window to the R of all my other pinned taskbar icons, leaving the original pinned icon where it was - so I could L-click on it again whenever I wanted to open a new IE window. I have done this through multiple updates and have never had a problem. This is the first time I have tried to "re-pin" and it hasn't functioned this way.

As has been stated: the behavior of a single left click opening an IE window with a task bar rectangle to the right of all other pinned items is not normal. Something within Windows was broken to cause that. I have seen this happen and the solution is to remove the broken pinned item and create a new pinned item in its place.
I doubt that you are going to find instructions on how to break the pinned item to produce the behavior that you want. The pinned task bar shortcuts reside in a folder* and there is a registry key** with values with binary data that works in conjunction with those shortcuts. I played with them a bit, but I could not break things in a way that you want.
