| Re: Keeping successive downloads in memory. Thanks a million Bruce. It works!!! One wonders why MS programmers made this feature so obscure, as most people get news letters in their email with multiple links in it, and would like the option of having some, or all open at the same time. Elmo's suggestion: OLEXP: How to Configure Outlook Express to Open Links in E-mail Messages in a New Browser Window http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=256953 did not work, as the directions were only for WIN98 and WIN2000. I use Win XP Home. Btw I tried to upgrade to IE7, but had problems, enough to uninstall. The general consensus in MS.Public news groups seems to be, that IE7 has too many bugs as yet. I will keep your instructions on file however, for later when IE7 gets to be the standard. Thanks again and season's greetings, Frank PS What does DDE mean? ------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Hagen" <Nospam@mymail.invalid> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general,microsoft. public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsx p.help_and_support Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2006 11:10 PM Subject: Re: Keeping successive downloads in memory. > Are you speaking of clicking on a link in OE and then minimizing it. > Clicking on a second link and then minimizing that, etc. Thus having > multiple Web pages minimized at one time? > > This will allow you to open multiple windows. > > Close all programs.

| Re: Keeping successive downloads in memory. You're welcome. What goes on in the minds of the MS programmers is a well kept secret. <eg> I have no problems with IE7, although it took a little getting used to. The instructions at these links will help insure you get a good download. See these links first and download from the link provided with your anti-virus turned off and all other programs closed.
