Vista - Minimizing more than one site . .

I tried to minimize one site, and then go on the another, so that I could
refer back to the first site for data. The first site went away as soon as I
logged on to the second site. This is very important to me in my business.
I need to compare the data from one site to another many times during the
day.
When I had XP, I was able to minimize three or four different data sites at
one time. I would like to do this again.
Do I have to do another step in order to do this with my new Vista?
Minimizing is a very helpful tool for me in my business.
Can you help walk me thru the steps I must take to accomplish this.

Thank you so much . . .

I think Malke and Wayne have already given you the solution but also
from my understanding of your requirement you really need to make use of
the 'tabbed browsing' facility available in Internet Explorer 7 ( but
not avbl in earlier versions ) which is a much slicker way of having
multiple web sites up at one time.

Look in
Internet Options - General - 'Tabs' section Settings.
Is the 'Enable Tabbed Browsing' check box checked ? If not then click
on it and OK that. (Change any other settings there to suit)

You can then open separate sites in the one Internet Explorer window and
just select the appropriate tab at the top to jump between those sites.

You can either allow links to come up in new tabs, or use that small
blank 'new tab' square to open one ready for you to enter a new URL, or
force a new tab by pressing Ctrl when clicking on a link. The tab
currently in use has an X which closes that site if/when required.

Tabbed browsing was introduced in IE7, which comes with Vista, to
obviate the use of separate Internet Explorer windows/instances. Give it
a go.

Then again if I've misunderstood what you are after . . . .

Tom

Thanx Tom . . you've been a big help.

Tom . . thank you once again for your help. I had the tabbed box checked
already. I didn't know about the CTRL when clicking onto another link that I
want to leave open with the other. I 've tried it, and it's working . .

Blessings to you Tom . . this will make my work day run more smoothly . .
what a time saver for me!!

Thanx again

You're welcome - if you have a number of sites you often use together
you might want to investigate 'tab groups', that is a group of sites in
Favorites that will all open together - a few more seconds saved in a
busy day.
