Control number of IE windows that open.
Can I control the number of IE windows that open?
I would like 4 or 5 to open and then they would start to "reuse" themselves.
Any ideas?

new windows are new windows. XP will clump them together on the task bar after a certian number, I don't think you can limit the total number of open windows.
you should try a browser with tabbed broswing, like Firefox with TBE or opera.
Not any of the whacky IE variants.

that winXP window grouping is a default behavior which can be turned off.
I find it irritating.

Use a tabbed browser, I'm sure Mobi et al will swoop in with recommendations soon enough

Mobi's all about the Firefox, anyway.
