Hi! I was wondering if anyone here knows how I can open two browsers at the same time and work on both of them, without having one automatically minimized as soon as I click on either one one of them?

Thanks for any help!

What operating system?
What kind of machine?
What browser?

And do you mean two different kinds of browsers (like Firefox and Opera) at the same time or two different windows of the same browser (like two Firefox windows open at the same time)?

But unless you are working on a very limited machine (like a cel phone), you can almost always open two windows either of the same browser or of course multiple different browsers at the same time and have them on different parts of the screen.

Windows, HP desktop computer, any browser.

What I want to do is:

To be able to write an email, work on a program etc... and at an unused corner of the screen have a Youtube video or something, permenantly displaying (Without being completely minimized each time I click on any place other than its window).

Vera jan, the only way to do that/// which I am not even sure if it will work that way... is to have two browsers Firefox and Internet Explorer... Either one of the browsers open the youtube and make the size a small square just about the size of the video. Then in the options somewhere it should be an option to keep the window on top. this way no matter what you open, the browser with the youtube will be always on top!!!

I see what you want to do ... basically you just want a way to keep a window always on top.

There are a number of utility programs that'll let you do that. I found this free one (PowerMenu) which seems like just what you need and seems trustworthy. It seems like a really useful thing so I installed it myself! After you install, it'll let you pick any window to stay-on-top (regardless of if it's a browser or soemthing else). It seems to work with most things but some comments indicate some programs may no longer work with it .. internet explorer works though as I just tried it on mine.

By the way, I assumed windows XP ... I have no clue about Vista.

right-click on taskbar and click on "tile windows horizontally" or "tile windows vertically"... ("show windows stacked" or "show windows side by side" for visa)...
