Okay, you are going to have to explain to me what you mean by "clicking on the ie icon" do you mean the one on your desktop or the one that is on the bottom left of the ie screen?

Walk me step by step what you are doing and I will try to help you figure out what is wrong.

You lost me a little too. If you are clicking again on the one on the bottom it may be trying to launch it all over again. I just go to the top where it says "File" then go down to New and over to window and open up 3 windows at a time and run different items in each window. Does this make sense to you?

Now, my little ie icon on the bottom left of my screen won't do anything. I have read where several people use it for something but I think it is broken on mine

But, if you want to open another window, the absolutely easiest way to do this is hold down the CTRL button and press the N button.

Another thought Dzny-make sure you delete your temp files very frequently to keep things running smoothly. On IE it's Tools - Internet Options - Delete Files. Then to get rid of all the cookies that pile up go to the Settings button directly to the right of the Delete Files button and View files. Then you can sort alphabetically, etc by clicking on the top of that column. (If it comes up as Icons, go up to View on that listing part and click on the Details line). Then you can delete the cookies that pile up- and boy do they pile up. If you have never done it you could maybe take a snooze while you are cleaning!. I clean my stuff 3 times a nite because we are all doing milesource, mypoints, memolink etc and they build up so fast. Also milesource won't let the others in my family do trivia unless I go in and delete both milesource cookies (there are two and they are not right next to each other). That's why it's so nice to keep clean.

If you delete the wrong cookie you'll have to log back in here-no biggie - just so you don't panic if it happens.

One of our friends was cleaning his brothers computer. It was several years old and he had never cleaned any temp files or cookies. When Dick went to clean it it took HOURS to finally complete. Needless to say that's why I am overzealous and do it too often.

Go to TOOLS-INTERNET OPTIONS-ADVANCED-BROWSING-then uncheck the box next to reuse window for launching shortcuts.

that should take care of your problem.

i found the settings that jgates said but nothing camef up where i could see what i was deleting i backed out of it right away until i found out how to see what i was deleting also does this delete anything for AOL or is it just IE does it delete anything you have saved? thanks for all the help slowly im getting the hang of all this i finally figured out how to do the 2 programs at once boy does that save the time

If you want to see all of the cookies before you delete them, right click your start button, click explore. There will be a new window pop up, if there is a little + by the windows folder, click that. Then double click the cookies folder. You will be able to see all of the cookies before you delete them.
