Mike Burgess MVP was kind enough to point out that 'open in
new window' is dependent on the following files, therefore
you should ensure they are the correct version for your
system, and correctly registered.
Run the following commands from start/run. Run each line
individually. After each run, you should see a short message
stating the command was successful.
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll (only applicable to Windows ME,
Windows 2000 and XP - if using an earlier operating system,
run regsvr32 shdoc401.dll)
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
It has been noted that replacing OLEAUT32.dll will
work when all else has failed. Do that by following using
