icons don't open properly

[debajean]

I click on an icon, and it will open, however it opens up on top of another window already open. I no longer can have more than one window open. How do I fix this?

Icon as in a folder inside of your file browser? Please clarify a bit more. every program should have its own window. so are we talking about when you are browsing through files?
