hi quahog i understand perfectly what you are asking. it sure sounds like a browser setting to me. which one do you use? i know that there is a always on top setting that can be checked under taskbar and start menu properties, but i don't think that that effects the browser windows. let's see what others have to say... :) mark

>>>>as soon as I click on a link on one window, rather than waiting for it to load I switch to another window that has previously loaded in the background. when you have started the NEW window to load then diminish it (use the minus in the top right hand corner) you can tell when it is finished opening up by noticing the change in it while it is displayed on the lower display bar (provided you don't have it on hide)

Quahog, Here's something you might want to try: if you typically view a series of pages, and move through them by clicking "next", you could install a free prefetcher. It will look for Next, Next 10 Messages, >>, or whatever you specify, then download the linked pages and store them in the browser's cache. On some machines it will get from the cache to the screen pretty fast. A couple of people on this thread have tried it and liked it. There's also a way to drag and drop any link onto the toolbar and have it prefetch the page, but it doesn't seem to work with my setup (W2000 SP2 IE 55.5). naviscope.com Frank
