Bugzilla – Bug 1858
Explorer Buttons Visible
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:36:01 UTC
Not sure if this is a bug, but this version of the slimserver interface shows IE buttons, URL web entry box, and other stuff. Clicking on a URL in another application annoyingly, uses the slimserver interface's browser to go to that URL, rather than launching a new IE. I don't recall this being the case in 6.0.2, where the use of a browser was less obvious.
6.1 uses IE now. 6.0.2 used a crippled activex control based on a very old version of IE.
To avoid having the SlimServer window used when you click a URL, go to Internet Options, Advanced tab and uncheck 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts'.
Seems to work fine. May I suggest this should go into the FAQ or other documentation. (If it is not there already.) Thanks - you can close if you wish.
done. thanks :)
