It popped up for days before I hit update… “Upgrade your MSN Desktop Search to the new Live Search and Toolbar for [wonderful promised improvements]”.
Perhaps not that wonderful as I can’t remember what they were but I do know a slightly broken IE wasn’t one. It still works but insists on opening new windows ignoring it’s own “reuse windows” setting 
.
I tried to system restore out of it but that didn’t work. Maybe it’s time for that format all, clean build I’ve been putting off. Perhaps when your “All Progams” menu fills the entire screen it’s time for a cleanout!
UPDATE 21–02–2007: It’s related to the tabbed browsing, turn that off and normal behavour is restored.
