IE7 and TABS

I have read things on this but I really need to find an Answer.....
No Mater what settings are in IE7 Tab Browsing Control are set to every URL
whether it is a link, a typed in url, a shortcut what ever it always opens in
the same tab.....Never opens a New Tab or even anew window even when REUSE
Windows is not Checked in the Advanced Tab of the Tools....
This just started for no reason, Have extinguished all my Ideas, knowledge
and strenght...and ready to go get drunk and forget putting this machine
together...
I have read everything on this subject and God only knows how many are
having the same problem but from all kinds of threads in at least the 6
categories I looked in...been reading for 2 hours and no answers....
PLEASE MS GODS HELP ME.....

Hi ThrashMaster,

Follow along with me at this link as a guide. Sometimes the link will direct how they will open in IE7.

Internet Explorer - Tabbed Browsing

On step 5, make sure you have these two dotted:
1. Always open pop-ups in a new tab.
2. A new window - or - A new tab in the current window.

If this doesn't work, then try clicking the "Reset' button in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Don't forget to enable your addons afterwards.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: IE7 and TABS

Got all that and that all works fine but can you tell me why in IE7 does it
not make a new tab open when I click on a link in my favorites or when I type
in a URL in the address box? it open opens these in the focused Tab not a New
Tab
thanks for all your help....

That's just the way it was designed. I just open a new tab manually then click the favorites link or type a address. One more step, but not so bad.

Re: IE7 and TABS

You can also right click on the favorite and select open in new tab.

I have found that this behaviour is different on IE7 on XP on my Thinkpad
laptop to my desktop computer running Vista. The Vista machine works fine,
but the XP one reuses tabs for clicked links. I think it works okay on my
Win2003 server as well.

Sorry, i don't have an answer, but you might have better luck in the IE
newsgroup:

ThrashMaster,

PaulB means the Star (favorites list) to the left of the tabs. Click on the Star and you will see the favorites there to.

This operation is unavailable in my IE7 (tabbed browsing is enabled).
