Narrative:

During the takeoff roll prior to the 100 knots call; I heard an unusual noise and observed that the first officer's window had opened. Although I knew that we could handle the window problem airborne; I felt compelled to abort because I believed that we were still in the low speed regime. Since we were over 85 knots; rejected takeoff began to kick in. I quickly and momentarily applied manual braking to avoid full rejected takeoff at such a low speed. We decelerated normally and taxied off the runway to a holding area. We notified company and ATC of the brief rejected takeoff and asked for the equipment to check brake temperatures. Arff notified us that there was some smoke emitting from the main trucks and that the brake temperatures were high. They used water to keep them in check. We were surprised to learn that all four fuse plugs blew out on the right truck although none blew out on the left truck. We deplaned the passengers and crew via busses without incident. After a five hour delay; we operated the trip with a replacement aircraft.

Title: B767 crew reported a rejected takeoff below 100 knots and due to the auto braking system four fuse plugs blew out on the right truck.

Narrative: During the takeoff roll prior to the 100 knots call; I heard an unusual noise and observed that the first officer's window had opened. Although I knew that we could handle the window problem airborne; I felt compelled to abort because I believed that we were still in the low speed regime. Since we were over 85 knots; RTO began to kick in. I quickly and momentarily applied manual braking to avoid full RTO at such a low speed. We decelerated normally and taxied off the runway to a holding area. We notified company and ATC of the brief RTO and asked for the equipment to check brake temperatures.
