    How do you make outlook express 6 open links in new window, instead of it the same window as the last link you opened?

        I think you can hold down the shift key while clicking on the link.

                Does not work! Still opens it in the same window.

                    I love to use older browsers. I love to have a right click easy to use 'Open in new window' and many other things older browser have.
                    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                      New browsers do that too. You can also hold down shift and click. However, I am talking about Outlook Express here!

                        I just checked on 3 PC's and the shift trick is working just fine.
                        Maybe one of your shift buttons are broken ?

                              I need an answer to this bullshit.

                                            (I know this thread is old, but I just ran into the same problem today on a Win XP Home maching. FYI, the above fix worked.)

                                            Just curious...

                                            In step 6 it says:

                                            "In the Editing action for type: URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol window, click to clear the Use DDE check box, and then click OK."

                                            Why is DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) necessary to begin with?
