It may be hidden on '98, so look for it when ALL files and folders are shown, and try and look for it manually as well. If you don't have the folder, then I doubt adding that file would help.
Maybe installing IE Booster again will fix it. I seem to remember some malware garbage that also might have messed mine up once or twice. See if HijackThis finds anything, and the others as well. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "John O'Flynn" < Yes, Clint, I do have an add-on prog called IE Booster which adds a number of handy R-click commands in IE6. One of them is "Open in new window" but it no longer works. However the ability to open a link in a new window by holding Shift is surely basic IE stuff, and it has stopped working. That was a command I used all the time. Also, on web pages where the links are set to always open in a new window, they simply don't work. Likewise for links in email messages. I can open new windows manually and copy & paste links, but that's a pain. I can't find anything called "frm2new". I looked for it in Find. Maybe I should make one and put it somewhere. I'm open to all advice. John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" > Ho boy, I can't remember this very well, but I'll try.
