Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
Hi Michael, Thanks for that tidbit, I guess that makes sense. DQSD's taskbar instance of IE can't run in protected mode, so any window it launches will probably inherit the non-protectedness. I don't know of a way to force IE into protected mode -- even if it's launched via double-click on a .html file, it gets Protected Mode: Off, presumably because a local file is considered safer. Maybe if there is a way to configure which sites require Protected Mode, you can add DQSD's %PROGRAMFILES%\Quick Search Deskbar\search.htm or the launch path used for the launchMode where we write out a .html file to your temp dir.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered
Launch mode... I click on DQSD, type in address/search criteria, press enter. Nothing fancy. Try the sequence. I would be concerned that something was wrong with my personal setup but I just did a clean install on another system for client. Same results. Also, FYI. If Protected Mode is ON, attempting to turn off DQSD Toolbar in the Taskbar results on Windows Explorer being re-started. -Original Message- From: Kim Gräsman [mailto:kim.gras...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 2:47 PM To: DQSD users mailing list Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Dave's Quick Search Opens extra BLANK PAGE window when web address is entered Hi James, Thanks, that's interesting. I can't really see why the regular URL launch should end up un-protected -- intuitively for me, it should be the other way around. You definitely should not have to disable PM. DQSD should run with system defaults, and PM is a good default. What's your launchMode?

Try this sequence if you are setup to do so (Vista 32 bit, IE7 in Tabbed Mode, DQSD reuseBrowserWindowMode = 0). With Protected Mode ON in Internet Options Security tab. 1) DQSD entry test search 1 creates PM Google Window 1 with search field test search 1 2) DQSD entry test search 2 creates PM Google New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field test search 2 3) DQSD entry gg newegg.com creates PM Google New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field newegg.com 4) DQSD entry av newegg.com creates PM Alta Vista New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field newegg.com 5) DQSD entry newegg.com creates blank UPM Window 2 and reuses AV Tab Window from step 4 with WWW.NEWEGG.COM 6) DQSD entry cnn.com creates blank UPM Window 3 and reuses Tab Window from step 4 with WWW.CNN.COM 7) DQSD entry test search 3 creates PM Google New Tab Window in Window 1 with search field test search 3 ... and so on... Like I said earlier, I can live with it by simply turning PM OFF on IE Security Options. But I won't turn PM off for end users and I am not even going to try to explain the 'rules' governing the sequence above to them.
