Group, I am posting this for a friend, I hope someone can help. Some time back someone posted this below to get IE windows to open up in SEPARATE browser windows FROM WITHIN Outlook Express. It does not work with IE 5.5, only IE 6. Does anyone know how to get this to work with IE 5.5?
2.. On the View menu, click Folder Options. 3.. On the File Types tab, click URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol in the list, and then click Edit. 4.. In the Edit File Type dialog box that appears, click the OPEN entry in the Actions box, and then click Edit. 5.. In the Editing action for type: URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol window, click to clear the Use DDE check box. 6.. In the Application used to perform action box, type %1 at the end of the string so it looks like the following example (the drive and location of Iexplore.exe may be different): "D:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome %1 7.. Click OK, click Close, and then click Close. 8.. Quit Windows Explorer. 9.. Quit all versions of Internet Explorer. Now when you run Outlook Express, additional links are opened in a new Internet Explorer window. I cannot use IE6 because the idiots at MS decided as a default that every time you try to download something, it won't download it! The 'download dialog window' automatically 'opens from current location' instead of downloading it!! Every time you have to click twice (click the 'save to disk' box, then click 'ok') in order to download it. (Who the heck runs every download from the current location anyway??) You have to download the 'download' first THEN close any AV programs, close firewall, close open apps, etc, THEN you 'open' the program to install it! If anyone knows how to change this problem immediately above with IE 6, so that it works like IE 5.01 and IE 5.5, that would be of great help to. ============================ Thanks Jeff Intrepid Video & Electronics 501 Luther Rd Harrisburg PA 17111 (FAX)1-413-280-0677 www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net www.thetoolcaddy.com ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
