I click on a link and it automatically opens a new window. How can I set it to automatically open a new tab? The inly way I can make it open in a tab is manually, by right-click the link and click on "Open In New Tab" I'm in Internet Explorer 7.

Also, is there a spell-checker in Internet Explorer 7, like Mozilla Firefox 2.0?
I'm a former Firefox user but I bought a new PC with Vista which came with Internet Explorer 7.

Thanks,
BTFan

A) you can use firefox in vista just download it and install it
B) use the click button on the scroll wheel of your mouse to open in a new tab

do you know about the wheel on your mouse between the left and right click buttons. you can push it down like a button and open up a new tab like that in most browsers including IE. also there are theme conversions to make firefox to look exactly like IE just its firefox so you get all of the good extensions
