lefty1953 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I searched this subject and couldn't find the fix. My Ie 6 lost it's function to Open in a new window. It works for folders but not on just a favorite that is not in a folder in favorites. When I use the open new window from with in a fold of favorites it open a box that has all the favorites listed and then I have to pick from them. It worked fine the other day but now the function is gone when using the links. I searched Kelly's Corner and found some similar functions but none of them helped. Any ideas? Thanks as always. <===Lefty=== Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you scanned for malware? Edited July 6, 2006 by TheTerrorist_75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 If you have the Google Toolbar check to see if it's popup blocker is stopping the links from opening in a new window. Also try right clicking on the link(s) and select open in new window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
medab1 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I think this link might help--Click HereI just downloaded & merged the reg file & it works.When you download it,right click it & choose "Merge".Click OK on the security prompt.Now when you click on Favorites & right click a link the option to open it in a new window is available.See picture--http://i6.tinypic.com/1zf3afm.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Medab1 gave me a link that works just like the old function that is missing so I will just use that for now.Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just wish I knew what caused the old function to be removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
