Something recently changed on my IE6 and the "Open in new
window" feature does not spawn a new browser window.
Infact any web link that tries to open a new window does
not work. I've installed all of the IE6 service packs and
updates but the problem still exist (running Win XP). I
can't find any help on the knowledge base, has anybody
had this problem before? Any help would be appreciated.

I've tried deleting the registry entries under
Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
thinking that it is a software configuration problem but
the problem still exist.
 
I've had the same problem, found knowledge base article-
281679 and reregistered the urlmon.dll. Working fine now.
 
1. Click [Start] [Run] type:
(Press Enter after each command)
Regsvr32 /i URLMON.DLL
Regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll
Regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

2. Restart Windows
3. Open IE [Tools] [Internet Options] [Programs] [Reset Web Settings]

If this does not help, run this fix:
