By default when you click a web link in an internet aware program and there is already an Internet Explorer window open, the web page appears in the open browser window instead of opening a new window.
This trick prevents the new link from being displayed in the existing IE window by forcing an additional IE browser instance to open.
You must make the following changes to the Windows registry.
CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you back up the registry before you make any changes to it. Incorrect changes to the registry can result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Modify only the keys that are specified. Read the document
