New URL open in new browser window

I have a new system that has one undesireable configuration setting that I
cannot track down. Most of the time that I want to visit a specific web
page, I will go to Start | Run | and type in the URL. It's very fast and
easy. On my previous computer, all URLs asked for this way would
automatically open in a new window, not in the browser window that might
have been open at the time. On my new system, however, this request will
cause the existing browser window to activate and make the call there, which
I do not want.

How can I change this so all URL requests from outside of an open browser
window will be handled by a new window? TIA...

Hi Rick,

Try Tools>Internet Options - Advanced tab - uncheck "Reuse window for
launching shortcuts (when tabbed browsing is turned off)"

Regards.

Before jumping to conclusions, keep in mind that Australia's own Mick
Murphy is running wild impersonating people in these newsgroups. If a
post doesn't sound like something that came from PA Bear, it probably
didn't.
