Problem with IE6

Post #37,747 by drewk 5/7/02 9:32:17 AM Reply	Problem with IE6 Just installed it last night per corporate mandate. Now the right-click->Open in New Window is not working. It opens a new window, but opens a blank page. I have to copy the link, spawn a new window, and past in the URL. Is this a security setting I have too high? === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make. I can't be a Republican because I like to spend the money I make on drugs and whores.

It's a quick fix (run 'regsvr32 urlmon.dll') and they've got a hotfix (sortf of) that will be incorporated into IE(6)AK shortly. Basically they forgot to re-register the URL handler. Now, the other problem: If I have two IE windows open and use a link from my toolbar in one of them, then switch to the other window and click the same link, I will be switched back to the first window. Even if that site is no longer up in the first window. Ex: First window, click toolbar link for z.iwethey.org. Second window, click link for slashdot. Switch to first window, go to mail.yahoo.com. Switch to second window, click link for z.iwethey.org. I get switched to the first window, which loads z.iwethey.org. === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.

This happened to me on a previous browser upgrade (IE4->IE5?)too, and I somehow convinced it to stop doing that, but I can't remember how. If it comes to me I let it be known -- Chris Altmann

I'm using the other workaround: drag the link to the address box and hit [enter]. === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.
