that didn't work. I even had 5 SEPERATE windows open and went back to the first one. I did the same thing to see if the other windows would stay open but when the first one closed, the other 5 did automatically close also.

Are you using tabs on IE7 or did your launch IE 5 times? Please give us some computer specs to include how much RAM you have.
