Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts

[MartynB]

When I click on a link in an Internet-aware program such as Outlook Express,
I want to be able to open that link in a new browser window.

I have unchecked the "Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts" box under
Internet Options|Advanced|Browsing, but the link still reuses a currently
open browser window.

Perhaps an IE add-on is corrupting the behavior, if so how do I
troubleshoot?

Try pressing the Shift key while clicking.

Sorry Roland, that doesn't work either - the link opens in a currently open
browser window

Change to Firefox and configure it to do what you want to do.

It fails me very seldom. Sorry, can't think of anything else.

Hi,
Try disabling any pop-up blockers you have running. Yahoo companion can
cause this. Other pop-up blockers can probably cause it. If running XP SP2,
check Tools in the IE toolbar. If using the Google toolbar, try turning off
the pop-up blocker.

Thanks to all for your replies.

What actually solved this was Mike's suggestion:-

OLEXP: How to Configure OE to Open Links in E-mail Messages in a New Browser
Window
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=256953 (I followed the section for
Windows 2000, as there was no reference to XP)

The problem was that in the Topic Box there was "system" instead of
"WWW_OpenURL".

Now when clicking on a link in OE, a new browser window opens.

Thanks again.
