Re: IE opens a new window when it shouldn't

Uninstalling both parts of the patch and restarting the machine made it work
correctly again (didn't work until after a restart). Reinstalling the patch
made the problem reappear. I have now uninstalled the patch and the machine
is working correctly again. Will wait for MS' answer to this one before
trying another reinstall...

Best regards

Martin
