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 :(
<shameless plug>That's why I write all of my articles offline using this: Code Project Article Writer Helper[^]</shameless plug>

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!" -

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.

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.

Long weekend here - Monday is a holiday, and I have Friday off :jig: Can't wait! :-D
