Or just go into your start menu and click on internet explorer again, but you should be using tabs, as suggested. You could have 20 windows (random number) open if you want.

There`s no plus mark, just a small tab next to the last current tab on the right at the top of the window.

Here is an example of 9 windows open, can you see them across the top ?
Do you have tabs enabled ?

when I hit the start button there is no button for IE

Let me give this a shot......Open Internet Explorer to any website. At the top you will see a tab that has the name of the website you are on, see it? To the right of that is a second tab, click on it and a new IE window will open so you can go to a different website. This should solve your problem.

So then, why don`t you put it there ? start>all programs> internet explorer

right click and pin it to the start menu.

What do you mean, when you minimize it, it won`t go to the taskbar ? That`s where it goes.

Do you now know how to open multiple tabs ?

yes it works. thanks. I never saw that before but it works so I will use it. But I will always be curious to know why the minimize button won't put the running web page on the task bar because that is the only way I have ever seen it.

Internet Explorer 6 did not have tabs. Then you would have multiple icons on your Taskbar. As far as I know, IE 8 was the first to have tabs and allowed you to have only one instance of it open at a time. If you only need one instance of it open, it saves memory and makes your PC faster.

I can confirm that!
