John I never saw this reply, I guess something in it was blocked (I found it in the archives). I believe Roger sent you the file, and it didn't work. So I don't guess there's much in going further. But to answer your question, that file he sent you should have just those lines below in it when you open it in Notepad, or just open it and view the source code.
I don't necessarily think IE Booster is CAUSING it, but reinstalling it or installing that program I mentioned at the bottom may fix it. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ======================= John O'Flynn Mon, 18 Apr 2005 10:12:19 -0700 I only have a handful of files in my Windows\Web folder and frm2new isn't one of them. I ran another search looking for it even inside files and it isn't on my computer. Yesterday I did a major cleanup and defrag, and it was right after that I discovered IE wasn't working right. I think I may have cleaned a little too hard. I'm not sure how I would go about recreating such a file. Is it just the three lines that Clint said? <SCRIPT defer> open(external.menuArguments.location.href); </SCRIPT> And it has to be an HTML file? How would I write one of those? Could you send it to me? Roger, I think I remember you saying before that you ran Win98se. Maybe you'll save my skin again ;) Clint, I don't think it has anything to do with IE Booster. I seldom use those R-click commands now since frames have become much less of a nuisance than several years ago. What I miss is being able to hold Shift to open a link in a new window.
