Default to New Window

In IE v6, when one left clicks on a hypelink, the web page opens in the
active window- not in a new window. Is there any way to force the page to
open in a new window (other than right clicking and clicking the second
entry on the drop-down menu)?

Hi,
This won't do what you want, but you might as well set it anyway. ;-)
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts." That will make Internet Shortcuts (Favorites) and
(usually) links in e-mail messages open in a new window.

To get links on a webpage to open in a new window you should use Shift
key+click. It will become automatic before long.

Hope this helps,
