I need to manually enter the task manager and kill the process tree. Then the new iexplorer instances stop appearing. I'm using FireFox to browse http://superuser.com/questions/590060/many-iexplorer-instances-open-when-clicking-on-a-mailto-link and Windows Live Mail for e-mail on Windows 7. I have Outlook 2013 installed but don't use it (haven't even configured it). Don't know when the misbehavior started or what I could've done right before. Installed all updates. Reinstalled the obvious things. How do I stop it?

What is it set to? –Oliver Salzburg♦ May 1 '13 at 10:37 Please see my addition above. It's weird - I don't have the MAILTO in the list at all. Or do I and I just don't realize it? –Konrad Viltersten May 1 '13 at 16:05 Can you open regedit and tell us what HKCR\mailto\shell\open\command is set to? –Karan May 1 '13 at 22:43 Nothing, actually. I don't have that key in the registry at all. I'm assuming that HKCR means HKEY_Classes_Root. In fact, I made a search for mailto and there's only one reference, in PROTOCOL_Handler_\mailto with CLSID set to a guid. What does it tell us?

I've seen some that do very similar things. However, I have not seen this, but I don't use Lotus Notes or IE 10, either. Chris' suggestion may work. We haven't even gone to IE 9 because of all the problems with it. This may just be an "undocumented feature" for IE 10. 0 Jalapeno OP ITsamiss Apr 3, 2013 at 6:21 UTC We use outlook.
