I'm having a similar problem where I try to open up different windows and they will open, but they won't load anything. I was told that it could be my browser settings or there could be a virus on my computer. I've gotten it fixed many times and it keeps happening.

The next time you open a link maximize the resulting window. Then close the window immediately. That generally works for me.

First off, open the program that's causing the problem and go to it's preferences and look for the option that says start with windows, or something similar.  This is the best way to do it.\n\nIf that doesnt work, goto the start menu, run, and type msconfig.  On the last tab is startup, uncheck the programs that are giving you the problems.

Some links are set up that way by the web page designer and there's nothing you can do about it.  By default, your browser should be set up to open links in the same window and you can CHOOSE to open then in a new window by right clicking on the link.

what rulesnroses said, plus if you don't have any application open, you'll get Shut Down Windows dialog.\n\njust so you know, you don't have to press it at the same time. as with all similar combinations, you can first hold down Alt then press F4. many people don't realise it, and while trying to press Alt and F4 at the same time, end up pressing F4 and then Alt, in which case nothing will happen, and it confuses people.\n\nalso, you can use Ctrl+F4 to close windows/documents in application that support working with mutiple documents. think of it as "local alt+f4"

I can't quite remember, but my old school used to do that.. I think you press CTRL + UP, maybe its down..maybe its not even CTRL and it's shift, windows key, or alt.. try all them..

ALT+CNTRL+USE THE ARROW BUTTONS TO WHICH DIRECTION U WANT THE WINDOWS TO FACE. ALL WINDOWS XP HAVE THIS FEATURE. I WOULD PRANK MY FRIENDS AND PRESS ALT CNTRL UP TO MAKE ALL THEIR STUFF UPSIDE DOWN
