open email inbox in the same IE tab by aelhabboub on 12-26-2008 at 07:09 AM
Hi all,
i don't know if it really bothers you like it does to me, but whenever i try to open my hotmail email inbox using the icon in the windows live messenger 2008, it always open a new instance of Internet Explorer... is there a way to open a new tab in the same existing IE instance (the already opened one)
i don't like to see more than one IE instance on my desktop, i always prefer working with tabs.
any answer is appreciated.

Under the tab settings for internet explorer look for
"Open links from other programs in"
and set it to "A new tab in the current window"

it is already there...
usually all other applications open a new tab in the current window, except for the MSN!

you could always just type the hotmail url into a new tab, and when logged in add it to your faves or something lol.

hi danni,
i don't think it is an ultimate solution, i guess it should directly work when clicking the link icon in MSN...
