Sorry for the second post but I am unable to log in to the original
Windows Vista Community and I was able to log in the the MS Discussion
group, when I double clicked on on your response there I ended up in
Google groups which I can log into. I am fairly competent with PCs but
I find the windows discussions very confusing to use. When I log into
the Vista community It accepts my login but then the sign in icon is
still there and when I click reply nothing happens.
I will take your word that the default behaviour of IE 7 tabbing has a
security benefit so re my original post. If I type
www.cnn.com in the
address line of a new tab of IE7 the website wil open in that tab.
If I bring up my home page and click on an icon with hyperlinlk
properties of
www.cnn.com IE7 will open a new winodw. Since it is the
same website I believe there must be a simple way to to change
something so that clicking on icons with hyperlink properties they
will open in the same or a new tab.
I appreciate any help you can give me on this, Thanks
