IE Open In New Window

In Win2k I was able to get IE to open a new window while leaving the first one intact when I clicked on a link in my e-mail program. I did this by changing a setting in File Types:

On the File Types tab, scroll down the list until you locate the N/A section in the Extensions column.

Click the N/A URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol entry, and then click Advanced.

In the Edit File Type dialog box that appears, click the OPEN entry in the Actions box, and then click Edit.

In the Editing action for type: URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol window, click to clear the Use DDE check box, and then click OK.

I would like to know how to do this In Xp. Thanks!

 

Open IE
Click on Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab
UNCHECK "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts "
Apply

It works the same in XP as it does Win2000. Check out the following Microsoft Knowledge Based article and use the directions under "Workaround Microsoft Windows 2000;

Though this worked for me, occassionally I've noted that for some reason "Use DDE is reselected. This seems to happen more often if I'm loading software. When it does happen I simply go back to Folder Options, File Types and unselect it again.

Hope this helps.

 

MKBooth's tip did the trick! Thanks a lot!!!
