Desktop Set to HTML, IE 6.0 Opens All in Same Window

[Quintios]

My desktop at work is set to a HTML page where I have important links and such that I need to get to daily. The OS is Win98 and IE 5.0.

I copied this page to my home computer which has IE 6 loaded. When I click on a link it opens up the browser just fine; however, when I click on another link, whether it's a link to a file folder or a web page, it opens up in the same IE window, quite annoying.

How do I configure IE 6 to start a new session with each link that I click on from my desktop?

Thanks in advance,

You can't unless you make the actual webpage that sits on your desktop. There must be an attribute in the link tag called "target" which will open up a new window. So if you are surfing the net from your desktop then you have no control over someone elses coding.

However,

If you made your own site and put in on your desktop, then add the following into your link tag, so that it opens a new window instead of staying on the desktop.

<A HREF=&quot;link.html&quot; TARGET=&quot; &quot;>Link</A>

Good Luck,

OK, here at work I took the webpage that I had created (to which my desktop was set) and replaced all the &quot;> characters with &quot; TARGET=&quot; &quot;>. What happened is the reverse of what I was looking for, now everything opens in the same window, whereas before everything opened up in separate windows.

Are you saying that IE6.0 will inerpret the 'TARGET' tag in the *opposite* fashion than IE5.0, opening up everything in separate windows?

Just to make clear, the webpage that is my desktop is created by me. The desktop doesn't change into file folders or webpages. For each link that is clicked Windows spawns an Internet Explorer session to that link, whether it's a path to a webpage or a file folder. The desktop is static and does not change. Here at work the HTML does not contain the 'TARGET' tag and every link I click opens up in a separate window. This is what I want to happen on my computer with IE6.0.

Thanks!
