Is there a way to keep an other application from opening a link in a
browser where I am running an ASP application?
For example, I have an ASP application open in a browser. If I click on
a link in an email message, Outlook "hijacks" the open browser and
opens opens the link in it. Is there a way to prevent this? To somehow
identifiy that browser window as "off limits" to another app?
Thanks.

Is there any way for you to control it on your computer? Possibly. Is
there a way for you as the Web site owner to control it? No, definitely
not.

There is a way to control it on your computer for IE (Internet Options
-> Advanced Tab -> uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts", but
that doesn't really help me.

That is not a hijacking, it's called a protocol handler, and it's only
Outlook on your system because you installed it there, could be OE, Eudora,
Lotus Notes, Novel's funky CRM thing or any of dozens [if not hundreds] of
other handlers.
It would have to be disabled on a client-by-client basis, and it couldn't be
done just for your pages. It would also need to be done from an exe, if
it's possible from script, it'd be a vulnerability that would surely be
patched if discovered.
Would you also want to get rid of the context menu options to open in a new
window? It might be possible but again, it would impact the whole client
system.
Remember that as *ethical* developers (as opposed to the worthless trash
that develops malware for whatever reasons) we have a duty to respect the
client system and do everything in our power to preserve its integrity.
Whatever your goals are, they should be considered in that light.

So what you're saying is that there isn't a way?

You mean like the way msn.com doesn't respect the client if it happens to be
FireFox? For starters; Right-click most links at msn.com in FireFox.

Holy Right Mouse Button Batman! I never knew that, but then, I use
Opera, and I very rarely go to msn.com anyway. That's really
interesting. A while back, MSDN was doing some browser sniffing so Opera
was getting left out. Now, I guess they're attacking Firefox. Why
can't we all just get along?

Please respond to the group so others can share
The app in question is on a secure intranet, so we already control
every aspect of the client system. It would just be easier to
accomplish if a browser could be made "hijack proof".
Thanks for the ethics lecture, anyway.

getCookie.asp which sets a cookie then returns back some html which opens a

The cookie is not received. Can someone explain why?
I worked around this by adding a cache-control header with a value of
no-cache. This fixes the problem. Unfortunately that causes another
