Is there anyway to make your inbox open in a new window in IE7 instead of
hijacking one already open? Tabs are turned off.

Thank you.

Greetings Robin,

If you click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Advanced, you'll find a:
'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts (when tabbed browsing is off)' option.

Note: I've not tested this (I'm sick and in a tad rush today).

I have that unticked. It seems to work with IE but not Live Messenger. When
I click on "email inbox" it hijacks an open window to go to hotmail and then
opens a new window with an error message: "you need to enter a password" or
something.
