Default Bring Internet Explorer to Front

Well here's my reply without the attachment.

Yes, I have win XP SP2. I'm actually using IE 7 now but it was the same with
IE6. It's never the same, sometimes a link opens a new window and sometimes
it doesn't, and for the same link too! Also, sometimes the window comes to
the front but most of the time it doesn't.

My DDE info (see attachment) for an Internet shortcut is way different than
what's on that link you gave me, so maybe I shouldn't change it unless maybe
I could tweak it a little? I can't imagine why anyone would click on a link
and not want the window to come to the front every time so this isn't by
design is it? Is there a registry setting for this?

It automatically comes to the front for me.

It looks like you are using Windows XP SP2. Is that correct?

Are you using IE6 or IE7?

When you click the link is IE opening a new window for the link or reusing
the existing window?

Check you file association against the settings he

Is there a setting or something to make Internet Explorer come to the
front when I click a link in Outlook Express? If Internet Explorer isn't
open yet it will, but if it's open, it just stays in the back, how do I
make it come to the front automatically?
