Could you not read the default command stored in the registry (which is usually "open") for html files and use that to open the web pages (Just ignore any DDE portion of the command - DDE sucks anyway).  If anyone has problems then at that time we could figure out the necessary info to put in the registry to make it work correctly for their browser.  I have written similar code in VB (I know that you use C) to do just that for other file extensions.

That being said, CookieRevised is correct that this is a low priority issue.

Patchou has spoken on one of my threads wow lol


ok alot of people are saying that in IE if u uncheck the option of Reuse windows to open shortcuts it'll open it in a new window. It doesnt for me so maybe all IE, Firefox, Netscape ect users pitch in and tell how to set the argument so messenger plus! opens all links in a new windows. I dont think it would take TOO much code to be put in Plus! and its just a little fix.

And i agree with everyone's statement that this is a low priority issue.

Well, unfortunately I can't code browser-specific instructions (itwould have no end) and every browser has its own way topass command line parameters too.

I sincirely searched for a way to do this but I didn't find any. Unchecking "reuse window" in IE options is supposed to do the trick. If it doesn't, you probably have something messed up in your configuration, sorry about that

megamuff, what you describe is a setting which will open any link in a new window (even the ones that don't define that you want to open the link in a new window). It is related, and it is way around for MSIE users only, but the links should be openend in a new window in the first place without the use of this setting...

lie. i browse around the net all day and dont have 54 browser windows open, just 2 - one gmail, and this one. it only opens new windows when you load urls OUTSIDE OF INTERNET EXPLORER, or if the web page whos link you click has code similar to the following on that link: target="_blank"
EDIT: (wow so much editing..) or if you right click and use 'open in new window'.

The first time install one is really annoying that it takes over a existing window. And all the links to such as Online Help should open in a new window and not take over one. If Patchou could implant this it would be alot less annoying than before.
