Sometimes I enter this homepage from Orange DB. When I do this, Orange 'steals' an open IE window if it exists. This is a very bad habit!!! I might have important sessions going on!

(Also, I'd prefer to open it in Opera, but the IE-theft is worse)

Hi kjetil,

There is a customizable setting in IE for this. Right-click Internet Explorer icon on desktop, switch to Advanced tab and uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" option. This will fix not only OrangeCD, but any application that launches IE.

This is the first setting that I change after I install fresh Windows.
