Description
When using any of the links in the help menu that open the web browser, two windows are opened. One window opens the correct website as it should. The second window goes to an invalid page and shows the url "http://%1/". Noticed this with 5.10.13 client.

Replying to KSMarksPsych:
What browser and OS?
I only get a single IE window on Vista (too bad it should be opening Firefox).
Windows XP, SP2. I use Portable Firefox normally but the client launches IE6.
Just to add a little more confusion, if there is already an existing IE window open then it opens a second window fine to the website without opening a third window with %1 in the URL. The 2nd window with the invalid URL only occurs when there are no IE windows open when clicking a link from the boinc help menu.

For some reason we are receiving multiple help menu item events.
This bug effects people who have the "Open new browser window" option selected in "Internet Options" advanced settings. It isn't the default option for this specific setting, at least through Windows Vista.
Punting to 6.10
