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.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653
