i.e 7

[Caladon]

A friend has downloaded I.E 7. Rather than having many explorers open at once, it has 1 open with many tabs. I am a alt tab person who likes to flick through programs and windows rather than having to use the mouse.
Question is... is there a way to stop the tabs from opening on I.E 7 and to have each explorer open individually as it always has happened?

Ctrl and N opens a new individual window (or explorer as you call it) and Ctrl and T opens a new tab.

No, I am not wanting to know how to open new ones...

I.E7 opens new tabs on the same window..right? Rather than opening 5 explorers, i.e7 opens 1 explorer which instead opens 5 tabs.
Is there a way to stop i.e7 from opening a new tab everytime I want a new explorer open.
Say I want the answerbank, the bbc, my hotmail open at once... I don't want 1 explorer with 3 tabs... but want 3 individual explorer windows open so that I can alt and tab to run through them.
Is there something in tools which stops new tabs opening on i.e7?

it does that the same as ie6
if you want tabs - which i prefer - you have to right click on the link and select 'open in new tab'

Tools - internet options - general - tabs settings -

and tick ' open links in new window'

I didnt like it either but cant seem to take it off and go back to IE 6

Just tried removing I E 7 again and it worked. As soon as you restart you get Microsoft Update automatically reinstalling IE7 so make sure you set this to non automatic.

With my browser I can hold Ctrl or Shift and click a link and it'll open in a new tab or window. Use Firefox!
Also, if you like keyboard shortcuts then Firefox with 3 tabs open : press Ctrl + 1 for the first tab, Ctrl + 2 for the 2nd etc.

Anyway, either go thru the settings as offered already or Shift & click the links.
