How to open Internet Explorer (IE) Favorites In New Window

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Internet Explorer doesn't give you the option to right-click on a Favorite and open it in a new window.
Here's how to add this functionality.

Open Notepad and copy the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell]
@=""
"flags "=hex:01,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\Open Favorite in New Window]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\shell\Open Favorite in New Window\command]
@="rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l"

Save the text file to your desktop and rename it to for example "IE_NewWindow_Favorites.reg".
Then merge it into the registry by double clicking it.
Now if you open up Internet Explorer and go to your Favorites, the new option  called "Open Favorite in New Window" will be in the right-click menu.
