Gerry, With all due respect, I'm getting frustrated with others insisting that works...this DOES NOT WORK! I just tried it. I've gone into the file-types, removed the DDE checkmark, added the %1 after the shortcut link...this works for a while, and I am back to the original. I must have done something right some time ago as everything was working fine until I tried to revert back to IE 5.01 with no luck. Trust me, unchecking that box does not work with all PC's. I have IE 6.0 and WIN 98 and in Outlook Express, if I have a window that I opened previously, then open one from OE message, a new window opens. If I hold shift, then click on another link, the window I opened in OE originally, refreshes to the new link I clicked on. Jeff
