MULTIPLE IE PAGES vs CONTINUING ON SAME

[OC]

instead of having one IE open - and clicking on a URL to
have the site change, a new window opens with the clicked
on URL

any ideas please ?

Thanks,

OC,

This behavior is decided by the author of the web page. Meaning, when they
design and build their web page(s), they purposefully make it so that
certain links open in new windows. That is why some links will open in the
same window, and some will open in a new window. Again, this behavior is by
design and is built into the HTML code of the page (or JavaScript, etc.) by
the person who put together page.

There's a way to force a page to open in a new window - right click the
link, and choose Open Link In New Window. Off the top of my head, I don't
know an easy way to prevent the opposite of this from happening - forcing a
page that would otherwise open in a new window to open in the current
window.

Anyone know of a way?

Thank you Patrick.

In the back of my mind, I remember setting some optionn
of opening a URL in a new window though. Just now, I
can't figure out where the heck that setting lives.

Thanks for the help !!

Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, select Folder Options, under Browse
Folders on the General Tab, select "Open each folder in the same Window,"
click apply and OK. NOTE: this will not always work because as mentioned,
some pages are created to open a page in a separate Window.
