coolmoejay Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 When I click on links I have on my desktop, it takes over an already open webpage. Is there any way to force this to open in a new window automatically?Any help would be much appreciated as this is really starting to annoy me.thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 When I click on links I have on my desktop, it takes over an already open webpage. Is there any way to force this to open in a new window automatically?I'm using IE7 and whenever I click on a new link, it opens up a new tab. If you haven't already done so, it might be worth downloading it. :)P.S. Having said that, I just realised it only applies to Internet Explorer links. When I open different applications, mine does open in different windows. Hope I didn't confuse things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolmoejay Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Unfortunately my company (an extremly large one well known company) wont allow Explorer 7 just yet... they run everything through a massive, long security check. Thank you for replying though.Any suggestions for IE6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for replying though.Any suggestions for IE6?They probably wouldn't allow my other suggestion either. However, when I was on IE6 I used the MSN tabbed download. I'm sure that is likely to come under 'not allowed'. Still, there are lots of others in this Forum who are infinately more knowledgable than I am. Give it a little time for someone else's comments and advice. I'm sure it will come. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolmoejay Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Again thank you for your reply/time, tried it and unfortunately you were right.... Big Brother will not allow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Here's another one to try!!In Internet Options under the Advanced Tab, settings, there is a check box for 'Reuse windows for launching shortcuts when tabbed browsing is off'. This is in IE7, but you could try the IE6 Tools, Options and see if there is a similar checkbox under Advanced.Good Luck! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
