Opening tabs in Internet Explorer 7
You may not have it yet but already Microsoft has downloaded IE 7 to many systems as an update. Most PC users are going to end up with it on their system so unless you use Firefox or other alternate browser, you are going to need to learn the new interface. I’ll be posting some tips on using IE 7 and I’ll begin with the tabs. As far as I’m concerned, tabs are one of the best new features of IE 7. Of course, Firefox and other browsers have had tabs for quite a while already so Microsoft is playing catch up. If you are new to tabbed browsing, it’s a very convenient way for switching among different Web pages without having to open an entirely new window.
A quick way to open a link in a tab instead of a new window is to hold down the Ctrl key when you click the link. You can also right-click a link and choose the entry “Open in New Tab”. A curious omission in IE 7 is that you cannot open a Favorite in a new tab with the right-click menu from the Links toolbar with the right-click menu.
