.ics files open in new window instead of downloading

Hello -
When I click to download a linked .ics (calendar) file, instead of downloading the linked .ics file, it opens the contents of the file in a new browser window (and all of the info is garbled with extra characters).
When I right click to save the linked file, it lets me download it.
Any idea why this might be happening?

The Work Protect modes do not seem to affect the 'Open in a headerless portal window' iViews which are opening with the banner and TLN.
For ESS Appraisal document, I was able to fix the problem of the external window having the Banner and TLN by using transaction lpd_cust.
The problem still exists for our Business Packages MSS, SRM, Course Administration, and Instructor/Tutor.
Does anyone know how to correct the 'headerless portal window' so that it does not include the Theme banner and TLN.
Thanks,
D. Maupin

Universal Worklist items open in new window instead of existing frame

After our recent upgrade we noticed that workitems in Universal Worklist open in new window instead of existing frame. Do you know if there is a system or universal setting to make all the workitems open in existing frame? I know we can change the settings for parameters launchInNewWindow and openInNewWindow to "no" in XML files to fix this. However, my concern is that I would need to do this for each and every task we use. (still doable but wondering if there is simpler solution)
Example:
 <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
 <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/ess~lea"/>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>

We downloaded uwl.standard.xml from UWL admin. Made a copy and renamed file. Changed all "launchInNewWindow" from "yes" to "no". Uploaded new file in UWL admin. Re-registered systems, cleared cache. Not sure what exact line changed the behavior but the workitems no longer open in new window.
We are still experimenting with file in our sandbox environment.

If i open a new window instead of a new tab, in the new window does not appear the menu tab

i want to open new windows instead of tabs and in the new window should appear the menu tab and scrolling up and down, but now with the new version the menu tab does not appear and i cannot scroll up and down.

Do you mean opening a window via the File menu (File > New Window) or do you always want to open links that you click on web pages in a new window?

Links open in new windows instead of tabs.

When browsing the internet, if I'm using a browsing session from a previous day, when I select to open a new link as a new tab, it will open in a new window instead.
In my case, I put my work computer to sleep yesterday evening and started using it again this morning. Now all my links try to open in a new window even if I specifically choose to "Open Link in New Tab".
This is extremely annoying.

GetURL opening in new window instead of frame

Using Flash for a website for the first (always been just a
backend php, asp, java programmer) and having the most frustrating
time with what should be the simplest thing. I have a button that
on the mouse down is supposed to load a link into another frame,
but instead it opens a new window with the link. In the html file I
have an iframe defined with the proper name, that matches the name
placed in the actionscript. What am I missing?
Here is the HTML Code:
<iframe src="home.html" width="766" name="mainFrame"
frameborder="0"><iframe>
Here is the Actionscript Code:
on (release) {
getURL("new.html", "mainFrame");
Thanks a lot for your help!

I can help you there:
on(release) {
getURL("new.html","iframe","GET");
Although if you have a name for your frame, it MIGHT be:
on(release) {
getURL("new.html","mainFrame","GET");
Although personally I'd just keep with using a regular iframe
without a name.

When I click on an email link it opens in the email window instead of opening a new window, how to get it to open a new window instead

It's Comcast email, most links are to articles from the Wall Street Journal. Lately an email from Charles Schwab broker with a link to a pdf file has been doing the same. When I click on the link, it opens within the email frame, which is about 1/3 filled up with the toolbar, mailboxes, headings etc. If it opens with 2 bars on the right side to move down, I can see the whole article, but often it opens with only one bar on the right side which will not let me get all the way to the end of the page.
It's been happening for several weeks. I got a new computer and it's still happening. Comcast sounds like they've never heard of it. Most recently happened today. I tried the same email link with IE and it opened a new window.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

HTML Container - pdf-file opens a new window

I use the ITS Webservice PZ04.
There is included a html container who shows the pdf-file inside this area.
Now I have the effect, that this pdf-file will opena a new window, but not inside the html container!?
First action before I have had this effect was the MS question-alert 'How you will open this file' Open/Download/Cancel - you know. - it never done before -
What can I do to open my pdf-file inside the html container? It runs some times.
Thanks!

thank you for your answer, but it wasn't the solution.
I don't open the iView in a new window.
I open the iView (as IAC WebService via ITS) and the applacation generated a html container with pdf file!
And this pdf-file opens in a new window.
The Application runs up to now very good.
I think any value was changed and I don't know which.
It's possible the modification solved under MS or adobe!?
Solution: First Deinstallation and then Installation of Acrobate Reader.

Links opening in new window instead of new tab

I'm running Safari Windows 4.0.4. I would like to use multiple tabs within one browser window. However, while in one tab, if I click on a link, it opens a new Safari window. I want it to open another tab. I have the "open links from applications" set to open in new tab, however, I can't find a setting for opening a new tab within sarafi itself. I hate that it opens a new window. Anyone point me in the right direction so that it opens a new tab in the same window?

Is there a way, then, that the Safari team could add an option to the General tab that would default the click-on-link behavior to be the same as CTRL-click? I'm certain that adding such a feature would be insanely easy?
Great browser Apple ... really like it; but could you please fix this in a service-pack soon?
Thanks!

Save Target As in IE Opens PDF in a New Window Instead of Downloading

I work in the IT department at a UK firm of solicitors and we have recently observed issues with using "Save Target As" in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 with Reader XI. Instead of prompting for the path to save the file, as you would expect, it instead opens a new browser window and loads the Adobe Reader plugin to display the file. The download Window does appear but as it doesn't even get as far as prompting for a path to save to obviously it never starts.
We are able to work around this by clicking the Save button in the Reader plug-in once it has loaded but this isn't practical especially for large or complex documents which may take more than a few seconds to load. The issue does not occur in XP with identical versions of IE and Reader.
Is anyone aware of a way I can selectively disable this behaviour without disabling the browser plugin as a whole?

Does that only happen with PDF files, or any files? My guess is the latter, which indicates a problem with IE. Try a repair: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378

Yahoo Search Links Opening in New Windows Instead of Existing Window

This literally happened withn the last hour. I've done some Yahoo searches, and when I click the link, instead of opening it in the existing window like it always does, it opens the links in new windows.
Is this something I did inadvertendly? How can I fix this? I don't want to have to right click to open in a new tab in the same window.

PDF files open in new window.

Whenever I click the "Open" button in Reader 9, (Windows 7 - 64-bit),
it opens the document in a new instance of Reader, which of course,
makes the menu item "Window" useless. How can I get docs to open
in the same window? I don't see any setting for this in the preferences.

"Make sure the Open new windows in a new tab instead is checked" - it is.
issue still not solved,
ps if you click on a pdf on the above link do you get the same problem or is it just me..?

Child project opens in new window instead of default window

I have a windows html help Robohelp 9 project. When I view the output chm file, I can select items from the TOC and they are displayed in the default window. I then made this project a child in a master project. If I open the master CHM and select an item from the child project, a child project is opened in a new window. I would prefer that the selected item from the child is displayed in the default window of the master.

Since the introduction of tabbed browsing in Firefox, the default has always been to over-write the currently selected tab with the new page when left-clicking a link or bookmark. You can open a link or bookmark in a new tab by using the following procedures or by installing and setting some preferences within some add-ons. You may have previously used an add-on that is no longer compatible with Firefox (look in Add-ons > Extensions for disabled items).
To open a bookmark or link in a new tab, on the link or bookmark:
*right-click and choose "Open in new tab"
*middle-click (press the mouse wheel button)
*CTRL+left-click
*See --> http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html (under "Web Navigation" section)

*Tab Utilities --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/ (light-weight extension)
*Tab Mix Plus --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (heavy-weight extension)
