hyperlink in Word or Outlook

M

Mike B.

When you click a hyperlink in Word or Outlook, the webpage opens in a new IE window -- unless you already have a window open. Then the new link replaces what's currently open in the browser window. So annoying! I know of two work around for this..

[In IE]

-Open Internet Explorer
-Choose Internet Options from the Tools menu.
-Go to the Advanced tab.
-Under Browsing, uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts."
-Click OK

[Registry tweak

-Open Registry Editor by clicking Start and Run and typing "regedit" (without quotes).
-Go to registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\ Main.
-Look for value AllowWindowReuse. If you can't find the value, create a DWORD value for it.
-Set the Data Value to 0 for "Do not reuse window." (A setting of 1 specifies "Reuse window.")
-Exit the registry and reboot for your changes to take effect

Is there any other solution for this problem
