Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / March 2008Use Open App, Don't Open New File
If you have Internet Explorer open, you are working in another app, and then click IE in the QuickLaunch, you get a second new window in IE. Is there a setting that would open the existing IE window/app rather than starting a new 2nd window? This is especially annoying when you want to use Hot Keys on a Microsoft keyboard. Most Microsoft apps behave this way, Outlook does the right thing and simply takes you to the open app. I just use Alt+Tab to switch through the windows I have open. > If you have Internet Explorer open, you are working in another app, and > then [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thing > and simply takes you to the open app. I do too, but this is for my clients that want to Just Press The Button. -K > I just use Alt+Tab to switch through the windows I have open. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > thing > > and simply takes you to the open app. Try explaining to your client that the "button" gives a open new window command to the system. Explain that selecting the all ready open window sitting just along the toolbar at the bottom of the screen will bring that window to focus. You could try teaching them keyboard shortcuts, just think how impressed they'll be when they get it right first time and can now work more efficiently. > If you have Internet Explorer open, you are working in another app, and > then [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thing > and simply takes you to the open app. |
