The page i am viewing will not be displayed as a name at the bottom of the screen ...this is what i am trying to achieve

If i am on pf , then go back to the desktop and click on one of the shortcuts on there to another website it will close down pf and go to the one i have just clicked on ...thus losing pf and NOT appearing as text at the bottom of the screen

First rule in techie support is ask the user as much information as possible...

To be honest i am confused to what gaz is actually trying to say

He may need to open all links in new browser maybe ?

What Gaz was trying to say, was that regardless of what he had open, say he had pf open, and then double clicked on internet explorer, it would close down the open browser, and open another one. The above fix will sort it
