SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to refresh a Web page using Internet Explorer, the Web
page may not be refreshed.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you open a Web page from a link within an
Active Desktop item that includes the <Target=self> Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML) heading tag.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, open the Web page in a new instance of
Internet Explorer, or right-click the HTML link in Internet Explorer and
then click Open Link In New Window.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
When you click a link on an Active Desktop item that uses the <Target=self>
HTML tag, the Web page opens in the same window instead of in a new one.
When you attempt to refresh the Web page by right-clicking an empty area on
the desktop and then clicking Refresh, the original Web page is displayed.
