firefoxthebomb Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Do not really know how to explain this but I will give it a try.I am using windows xp pro with SP2. I am also using Outlook 2003 for email, and I also use Outlook express. When I click on a link from an email, it opens internet explorer so that I can veiw the pages. Now If I go and click on another link in an email it opens a new IE window. I would like all the links I click on to open in the same open IE window. I want to know if there is a setting someplace that I might have overlooked. In the options for IE in the advance tab there is an option that states, Reuse windows for launching shortcuts. Which I have checked and uncheck with the same result.I get alot of email that is technical and I am always clicking on the links to read more on the information, but it is annoying to have to keep closing all those IE windows after opening just a few emails.Hope someone here can help me with my delima.Thanks in advance.

ciro Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Jokes apart, if you'd like to give firefox a try, it would have a behaviour as you requested: it opens a new link in the same window (new tab or same tab you can choose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxthebomb Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 I do use firefox as well, but I see this behavior on serveral computers. This fix I need it also for my work computers, I currently maintain about 800 pc that most of them have this problem.My code name of FIREFOX I have been using it for at least 20 years now, even before the movie Firefox came out too.I am aware of the settings in the Firefox browser like I said, but I need to solve the IE problem.But thanks for your responses.
