MSN/windows messenger help.

links sent to me in messenger used to open in a new window but now they change whatever window is currently open, anyone got any idea how to fix this?

If you are using tabbed browsing check:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Tabs

Click Settings then check the section "Open Lins from other programs in:"

Can't find tabs in internet settings, just to clarify... the links I'm talking about are stuff that mates send me during a convo on messenger, they open fine in IE but like I said they used to open in a new window but now they just open in whatever the last window opened is, which can be a pain in the ass when I forget and close it instead of going back, my mrs has the same problem so I'm guessing its something MSN changed.

it's only a small application, uninstall it, then re-install a fresh windows live messenger, usually fixes anything like that for me if it c***s up

Tried that didn't work, like I say I think its something MSN have done.
