5, IE can not open a new window solution

Recently, I do not know what the reason, my IE can not open a new window, the specific manifestation is: With the left mouse button click Hyperlink no response, with the right mouse button click Hyperlink, in the pop-up menu to choose "Open in a new window" also no movement, this put me nasty, reload ie, it is too troublesome, after a data search, Finally let me find the solution, if you also encounter with me the same situation, you can try this:

Click "Start" → "Run", enter "regsvr32 actxprxy.dll" in the Pop-up "Run" dialog box (note that there is no quotation mark when entering), then click "OK" button, then an information dialog will appear "DllRegisterServer in Actxprxy.dll succeeded the "OK" button in the middle of the dialog box;

Restart Windows, run IE, open a Web page casually, and try a hyperlink. You will find IE can open a new window again! Then try the right mouse button to choose "Open in a new window", or no problem!

6, IE window to small solution

Sometimes, when IE opens a new window, it is a small window, even if the "maximize" button is clicked. In fact, this is the "memory" effect of IE itself, that is, the next open window defaults to the same state as the last time it was closed. To return each open IE window to a normal state, follow these steps:

Go to Registry Editor, and under Hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftinternet Explorermain, delete the "window_placement" key in the right window;

Expand the registry to Hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftinternet Explorerdesktopold Work-areas, and delete the "oldworkarearects" key in the right window;

When XP is used for a period of time, the files in the Prefetch folder become large, and there are dead-chain files, which slows down the system time. Recommendation: Delete these files periodically. (Windowsprefetch)

9, delete the system redundant DLL file

"Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionsharedlls" records shared DLL information, followed by a number that indicates that the current DLL file is shared by several applications, If its value is 0, it is superfluous, and you can delete it as much as possible.
