Hi,
a very trivial item, but really annoying...
Can the Web page links in the Help menu be made to open a new web browser rather than 'hijacking' an existing browser?
I keep checking the support forum several times a day via the link in the help menu & if I forget to open a new copy of IE first the browser I'm using for viewing my project gets re-used for the Blumentals support page...

This is where Firefox is handy - links get opened in new tabs. Its also a better browser than IE6, with lots of sexy features, and of course, is free. Or there is Opera - that has tabs too.
Again, maybe not an ideal solution to your problem, but worth looking into.
Besides, if developing a web site, its handy to have Firefox installed, to check whether it works in that browser too.

What? oh man! getfirefox! 
Besides being generally more helpful to code correctly first (firefox) and then fix for wide audiences (IE) there are two plugins that I'm not sure how people even make websites without anymore: Web Developer and Firebug. Both are amazing and will make your work easier, perhaps even make your life better.
plus, you know, tabbed browsing, better security, faster more consistent rendering, plugins, skins, the search bar...

Re: Rapid PHP - Help menu web links
Two minor suggestions concerning Favorite Online Resources (Rapid PHP 2010):
1) Since it is possible to map also local resources here (i.e. pdf manuals, ebooks etc) i suggest to rename it to "Favorite resources" only.
2) Very subjective probably, but if the buttons order in the Web Link manager was Add-Edit-Delete, instead of Add-Delete-Edit, it probably wouldnĀ´t happen to me so often to accidentally delete some of the items
Anyway, Rapid PHP is absolutely amazing and I appreciate your work very much.
