em_te,

I've been using your new window toolbar button on all my computers since you released it. I just have a request though. Will it be possible to have the new window created using the button appear behind the parent window instead of in the front? similar to how your present shell extension works i suppose...

would such a thing be possible?

great stuff man...

thanks!

I've answered your question in the other thread.

em_te,

your new newwin.htm does not open behind the parent window. It still opens in front. any idea what's wrong?

thanks

Not sure what's wrong. Are you sure you replaced the old newwin.htm file? Try uninstalling it, unzip the installation files again, replace the old file there and then installing again.

Hey Awan;

I registered just to say thanks for your nifty 'new window' extension. I'd been looking for something like that for weeks. I had earlier come across a registry extension that opens IE favorites in their own new windows with a R-click addition to the context menu,

-----------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

"AllowWindowReuse"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\Open In New Window\command]

@="rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %1"

-----------------------------------------

but I couldn't figure out how to get it to keep the new window in the background like you've done with your extension for links.

Nice job - Gil Theissen

Been using your new window behind app for more than a year and really loved it. Unfortunately - don't know why - but the new window has recently started stealing focus. Noticed the difference after a recent Windows Update and wondering if some new patch broke it. I've tried redownloading it, tried unistalling and reinstalling both the old and new versions, but it still refuses to open up behind the current window. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
