Outlook 2003 Multiple IE Windows

[Randy]

Experiencing some odd behavior from Outlook 2003 that no one else has
reported yet.

When I click on a link in an email message, 2 IE windows open up to the same
web page. If prior to clicking a link I already have IE open, then this
doesn't happen. This only occurs in Outlook 2003.

Does anyone know whats going on and how to fix?

TIA
Randy

Check your file type settings:

I had the same with FireFox. I had to change some manually to refer to
FireFox and got rid of the second window.

I don't understand.... where are the "file type settings"? .....what
settings need to be changed? .....and your link doesn't take me to any place
helpful? None of the questions are related to mine.

Sorry wrong link, I meant the file settings in explorer-tools-folder
options-file types.

Maybe this will do it for you :

'Set IE as default browser - XP
Use this only if IE is installed in [C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer]'
