make outlook express 6 open links in new window
 

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

That is a secret...:Graucho

A secret or you just don't know?!

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

Im curious too.
Mine does it which is great for confirm emails. However I have NO IDEA how. I spent a good 2 hours on a friends pc and we could not get it to do it.

dude, its easy... no big secret

ok you do it like this
highlight the link, copy it

open a new IE window
paste the link into the address bar, hit enter
and then, you have the link open in a new window

glad i could help :)

That's a pain meng. Just hold down shift and click the link.

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

Bump.

I really need an answer to this. It is pissing me off.

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.

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 ? :Graucho

OE5 allowed that. OE6 it doesnt work that way. Been a pain
in the ass for me as well.

works fine for me, Im running oe6

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK

I just lost a huge fucking post to my host because I clicked a link in outlook which opened the window in the same window.

BUMP. BUMP. BUMP. BUMP.

I need an answer to this bullshit.

No one can figure this out for me? :(

right click, copy shortcut, open IE, ctrl-v, enter

I hate clicking mouse buttons and pressing keyboard keys.

The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Outlook Express 5.01 for Windows 98 Second Edition
Microsoft Outlook Express 5.01 for Windows 98
Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 for Windows 98
Microsoft Outlook Express 5.01 for Windows 95
Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 for Windows 95
Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 for Windows 2000

No version 6. :(

My bad, it works for v6 too.

(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?
