    IE8 issue
    « on: May 14, 2009, 10:50:40 PM »
    Here's one for ya.  OS-XP SP3 / Outlook 2003 SP3 / IE8.  Here's the issue:  when my friend opens his Outlook and clicks on a link to anywhere, the system would open to My Documents.  I fixed that by changing his Zone from Restricted Sites to Internet.  Now when he clicks on a link it opens IE8 to his homepage.  Go back to Outlook, click it again and a second IE8 opens to the link. 

    He doesn't have that problem with FF. 

    Whaddya think?

    Have him temporarily turn off UAC and see if it works properly...

      It's XP and he's set up as an administrator.
