My uncle has an unusual problem on his computer. When clicks on hyperlinks from web pages or Outlook emails, two windows open with the same web page. So every link he clicks he gets two open pages.

You did not mention what browser he is using.
 
If it is Internet Explorer then try IEFix as it will re-register the dll's and fix registry entries pertaining to IE.

Sorry. I should know better too as I use Firefox. He uses IE6. Thanks for the fix. I will see if it works.
