IE 6 Opens New Window when Control + Click is used on Tosiba Tablet

[Guest]

When I have IE 6 open on a Toshiba Portege running Tablet XP, I hit Control + Click and a new Window of IE opens to my Home Page. Is this behavior expected? Is this a "feature" documented anywhere for IE or Tablet XP?

I thought I noticed that happening too.
However, then I noticed that I had somehow checked
Reuse windows for launching shortcuts
(Options, Advanced tab)
Fixed that and haven't been able to duplicate the phenomenon since.

Actually in my case I was noticing it when I was dragging links
with Ctrl- held down (probably thinking absent-mindedly of
doing Explorer file copying or something <g>).


FWIW

.
Checking or un-checking this option doesn't cause the

problem, if it fixes the problem reversing the action
should cause it. However I only have second-hand
knowledge of the problem reported by a client.

I have confimed with my client that this indeed does not
fix the problem. Anybody got any other ideas?
