Explorer opens new window

[linseed]

When I type a new URL in the address bar explorer opens new window. I am using explorer 6 and Win XP Pro sp2. I have searched and a lot of pages list the solution as "uncheck the box under browsing (internet options/advanced tab)" but I do not have that otion. If I go to advanced tab under internet options I do not have the browsing nor I see any option for opening new pages in a new window. Please help.
