Opening a second window

My problem is very peculiar. I can open IE more than once
but when a second window is suppose to open when I click on
a link (kind of like a pop up) it won't open. You might
think this is cool that pop ups aren't working but it's not
fun at all since many important web sites for me use popup
windows to give information. I've uninstalled IE6 and
reinstalled it without it working. I couldn't even do
windows updates because of this problem. I've had to use
mozilla since it is not affected by this problem. I've
scanned for virus', I've scanned for worms, I've
defragmented my hard drive, I've scanned for spyware etc...
Nothing works! Help me please!

Click to expand...

From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

Open Windows Explorer.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Select 'open'.
Click Edit.

"Application used to perform this action" should read:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\iexplore.exe" -nohome
(Check the path to iexplore.exe to make sure that is correct and use the
double quotes.)

DDE should be checked and in the boxes below it you should have:

#1:
"%1",,-1,0,,,,
#2
IExplore
#3 (blank)

#4
WWW_OpenURL

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy should be the same.

Sometimes it is necessary to uncheck Use DDE.

If that doesn't fix it, go to Start | Run and type

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
