Hi, yesterday i downloaded windows updates (maybe unrelated) but since then when i click on a link it closes evry other explorer browser...
it's driving me crazy..i can't find any settings that have changed etc.
also, from a link in an email in hotmail it will open a new browser, but then any other link just closes all the others..
help!

You could try a system restore to the day before you made the changes. If it doesn't work you can always revert to previous settings.
