Rant : Outlook
-
Aaaargh. :mad: I was in the midst of typing in a new article into the article submission wizard, when a colleague sent me an email containing a hyperlink. So I clicked on it. Biiiiiiigggggg mistake. Outlook very kindly opened the aforementioned link in the instance of IE that contained the editor, nuking the product of my creative juices. So I'm cross now :(
I think you might be knowing this already :~ , but I'll tell you anyway: #1. You should have chosen "Work offline" and hit back. #2. In IE options, there's a box that says "Reuse IE windows for launching shortcuts". Make sure it's unchecked. It might come in handy next time. :) My sympathies.

I've calmed down a little now - thinking weekend thoughts helped :)

This is why multi-tasking is a bad idea. Finish one job before moving onto the next. Timeslicing isn't for humans ;-) Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

I was trying to prove to myself that I can do more than one thing at once. Better to have tried and failed than to have not tried at all :)

It's not outlook, it's IE ;) As someone else said, there's an option for "reusing windows" in IE... Try using
ShellExecute(some html-file)from your own program, and the exact same thing happen. - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" -

In most places, when the power goes out for a day people don't die. People don't drop dead walking to the store. Cassette tapes and CDs don't melt on the car seat, and you can't fry an egg on the sidewalk in 10 minutes. It happens here every summer, and it's still a month before summer begins. X|
