Yes, Clint, I do have an add-on prog called IE Booster which adds a number of handy R-click commands in IE6. One of them is "Open in new window" but it no longer works. However the ability to open a link in a new window by holding Shift is surely basic IE stuff, and it has stopped working. That was a command I used all the time. Also, on web pages where the links are set to always open in a new window, they simply don't work. Likewise for links in email messages. I can open new windows manually and copy & paste links, but that's a pain.
I can't find anything called "frm2new". I looked for it in Find. Maybe I should make one and put it somewhere. I'm open to all advice.
