IE 7 Upgrade Fails Open Web Page to an Anchor
Hello,
..
Today, I updated Windows XP on one my computers, c15. Microsoft provided a
notice with the Windows XP update that Internet Explorer 6 can be updated to
version 7. Therefore, I implemented the Microsoft notice and installed the IE
7 upgrade.
..
I have an application that enables precision access, as explained in NWO. One
dimension of precision access opens web pages to specified anchors. This has
worked well for the past several years, adding value to web browser technology.
..
The recent update continues to support this feature when opening a file on
the Internet, but if the identical command is directed to open the file
on the local machine, IE does not execute the command to open the file to
specified anchor. Here is the command that is failing...
I:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\iexplore.exe "C:\sd\wl\sd\08\00101\02\06\11\02\021916.HTM#6R4O"
..
Again, substituting an Internet address the same command...
...works perfectly.
..
Naturally, I am puzzelled why the commands execute differently.
..
How can I restore the prior version of IE, which did not have this
problem?
