2 browser instances when clicking on email link

[Jon]

I am using outlook 2003 on vista and when I clicked on a web link in an
email the page used to open shortly after a dialogue box telling me to
locate link browser. I have now pointed the link browser dialogue to the IE
executable and now get two instances opening - one with the link in the
email and the other with my home page. Any Idea how to fix this?

TIA

Jon

Hi,
First, is IE the default browser in Control Panel. Default programs:
* Set your default programs
and
* Set program access and computer defaults

In Internet Options> General> Tabs> Settings, try the 3 different options
for "Open links from other programs in:" Does any option work better?

In Internet Options> General> Tabs> Settings, uncheck "Open home page for
new tabs instead of a blank page.

Does this happen if you use a blank home page? Is your home page in Trusted
Sites? Vista won't open sites from different security zones in the same
window.

Hope this helps,
Don
