IE shouldn't open new windows on every link clicked.
Yes but it was clicking a link in Outlook that caused a new IE window to
launch, and AFAIK this feature was added to Outlook 2003.

Well without knowing anything about developing, its a piece of code that
launches a new shell of the browser with the URL as command line (or something similar). Previous versions of Outlook always hijacked an open browser window but as stated it was a feature request that a link would open its own browser.

Gordon are you using Outlook 2003, if so I suggest you try your own advice
and see what happens, because checking that box has no effect if you are using Outlook 2003. This may however be academic if the OP isn't using Outlook 2003.

IE shouldn't open new windows on every link clicked.
Actually, my question here IS a suggestion for Microsoft to make a fix to
this problem. It is not resolved by clicking the box "reuse windows". Tech support at MS told me I should write this problem up as a suggestion so in future a patch or fix may be offered.

IE shouldn't open new windows on every link clicked.
Leaving aside that it was apparently at user requests, I agree that having
it as an option might be nice. "Gordon" wrote in message news On Thu, 02 Mar 2006 14:04:18 -0500, Brian Tillman wrote: Gordon wrote: But it's an *IE* setting.........

My point being, that MS have made things unnecessarily complicated (like MOST of their Office modules) by this. Yes allow links to be clicked in an email, but only control the link's behaviour from ONE place - ie the browser in which it opens! -- Gordon Burgess-Parker Interim Systems and Management Accounting www.gbpcomputing.co.uk
