multiple internet explorer windows

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Hi,

When following up URL's from other applications they often open up a new
ie window. This actually takes longer than it does to download the page
concerned.

Is there a way to re-direct this 'request' to an already open window, if
one is available, of course?

I have to track through every one of the umpteen applications that are
authorised to go on-line and work out how to frig them? Each?

It's not just news and mail, it's spyware programs updating their
database, AV doing the same, registration, updates and support for...
well, for practically every darn program I have...

Somewhere in the system there must be a "request" for an IE window,
admittedly by the program, but the *operating* system has to process it.
There must surely be some way to catch it?

Unfortunately no, it's been checked since day one.

Nice try. Thanks anyway.
