On our desktop, if Mrs AA logs on, and clicks IE, it opens up twice.
If I log on, and click on IE, it only opens up once.
Any ideas gratefully received :y
-
Sure she aint double clicking? If not, double check the double click setting under Mouse for her profile, and lengthen it a bit.
-
That's what I first thought, but I've checked that, and it happens to me when I try it on her log on.

Checked mouse setting as well?

Two for the price of one. You don't get much of that today. ;D

No, but will do shortly.

You know how women like to think they can multitask lol

No, it's not that, both log in's are set to the same speed.

Who uses IE nowadays? :o

check her configured home page? I don't use IE, but of firefox, I can have two (or more) concurrent homepages which open at startup - usually in two seperate tabs, but I assume it can be configured to open two seperate windows?

Me, and I would suggest, most people who just use their pc to shop, bank, browse. I wouldn't mind betting that ie is still the most popular browser amomgst the non-paranoid.

Home page is blank.

Google Chrome takes over 40% of Global usage. IE just 25%. I personally use neither. :-*

I accept your numbers, but that just means 40% of people are not very concerned about security. ;D

25% of global users, apparently ;D

Could be something wrong with the "code" on the icon startup script (right-click > "properties") or the registry....but must admit I have never seen that issue before :-\

Of that 25%, I'd wager the majority are Corporate users who have no choice in their browser.
Microsoft products have been the major target for every hacker and their cousin since Day Dot. I'll stick with FireFox and AdBlock+...... at least I don't have to wait a week for a webpage to open! ::)

A week! Wow, that is slow.

A reboot seems to have cured it :y
Thanks for suggestions.

Anyone with an eye for security, and who needs to run Windows.

You need to fast forward about 10yrs ;)
MS went through all that shit in the early XP era. Hence the number of IE (and Windows, for that matter) exploitable flaws are fairly low.
Compare MS's patch Tuesday - a big one this month - how many IE exploitable flaws fixed in the last month (2) compared to Chrome (over 40).
As for speed, IE (actually, Trident) has been the fastest renderer on Windows since IE8 came out, surpassing Gecko (FF) and Webkit/Blink (I hope all Chrome users are using Blink now!!!).
If you can't get IE to perform, you need to do some sensible housekeeping on it, and stop running as a superuser

Odd, but sorted. Was she fully logging out, not just switching users?
I too was starting to think along the lines of Guffers before reading your update :)

Machine was running slow, took ages to log both of us off, after re-boot, everything seems back to normal :y
I very rarely use the desktop, so was unaware of the problem till yesterday, seems it's been like it for a week.

Another thing I noticed, quite a number of MS updates have failed (Win7).
I've tried running FIXIT, but it hasn't resolved the problem.

Sometimes not all updates will go on at same time, as some are whats call exclusive, and need a reboot.
Following reboot, try again. I'd avoid tools that claim to fix things for you, and often make things worse, and do it yourself :) - esp as you used to do IT stuff ;)
