Things Aren't Where They Used To Be

Usually when I open a few things (email, games, IE) on my PC the latest thing I open comes to the front.
Now for some reason if I have IE open, then click on say, email, IE stays at the front and I have to minimise it to see email which is behind it.
Why has this changed and what do I do to change it to how it was?

Flashdrive Thanks

No I've tried it whilst on the BBC site and it's still doing it...........I haven't changed any settings or anything. It was okay until I stopped using it about 7pm and has just started now when I've come back on.

Have you tried "turning it off and turning it back on again"? :)
(ie restarting the computer)

I agree with methyl - do a clean up scan or try System Restore back to a few days ago when the layout was ok, that usually gets rid of things which have gone wrong.

Thank you both, it's back to normal now.
I have weird things happen ever since I downloaded IE10. Quite often, if I don't log off but just leave the PC for a couple of hours I find I've lost all my cookies, this never happened before IE10.

Ha ha, classic IT advice.
Firefox keeps changing it's identity at the moment, FB keeps telling me it doesn't recognise my browser.
