Well, actually I had the same problem: the "Right-click --> Open in New Window" feature was failing in my computer. Hotmail messenger wouldn't open IE. So I spied the actions taken in the registry, searched for a failed action (for example a not-found result) and after a bit of analysis, found my solution. In the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32 the default value should be %programfiles%\internet Explorer\iexplore.exe There are, however, more official solutions to this problem, for example in support.microsoft.com/kb/281679, but such did not solve my problem. Only what I described above solved ALL the problems herein mentioned. Regards, David López Salgado Bogotá, Colombia.
