Hi Jack,

Check you tabbed browsing settings - Internet Options - General tab - Tabbed
Browsing Dialog

Open links from other programs in: A new tab in the current window.

The Open in New tab context menu should then be available when you right
click on a web link.

To open a favorites link from your Links toolbar in a new tab, hold down the
control (Ctrl) key while you click the shortcut.

Regards.

There should already be an "Open in New Tab" on your right-click menu. I've
heard that the Google Toolbar can cause it to disappear. You can still
middle-click links to open them in a new tab, however.

Still got the same problem here - and not got google toolbar. Tried
running IE in (No Add Ons) mode too, but still no tabs.

I have no problem with opening a link in a new tab, but it p****s me off
that the new tab does not automatically come to the front as it does in other
tabbed browsers e.g. Opera. I have to click on the new tab to bring it to the
front. Is there any plan to fix this?
