>You visit the site, and close that particular web window<
Simply put, completely stop the (nusance) habbit of closing the windows, when
you are enabled, in most browsers, to use the Back+Forth buttons
(or look in the IE5.x-Help for the equivelant shortcut keys keyboard combination).
Else:
-Right-click the Explorer-icon for Properties (Internet Properties)
-click Advanced-tab
-check the option "Launch browser windows in a seperate process"
My opinion of IE5.x is that I'm realy glad that I have switched browsers ever since
version 4.0, this as the IE 3.x and lower versions were not very user friendly and
also were neither fast (much like Ncape's 3.x and later have not got much friendliness
added to them or that the program became faster, eg this ever since v2.2).
One learns, invests and progresses and one stands still and dies out.
On the IE5.x web-site you can read up on the so many programs features,
but better, just install.
You can also join the realy lively (IE5.x) Newsgroup(s) for discussions and questions
on IE5.x + internet matters etc..
(Actualy on/for IE5.x there are several Newsgroups around, just log in to
your ISP's NewsServer and subscribe to some of the "Publics" groups or ask your ISP).
