I just cannot sseem to find the right switch or setting

option to solve this annoying problem.......

I usually have 3-5 windows open while surfing the web.

But when I decide to go to a new site, I cannot tell which

of my open windows is going to go to this new URL.

I end up losing a site/window I wanted to continue to use.

It seems to be the last window that changed that is chosen.

So what I have to do is find the least needed site/window and

alt-tab to it, then Back or Fwd to change it, then click the desired new URL.

Then I get to keep the sites I want in their active windows.

One solution is to have a new window opened whenever you

click on a new site. But I cannot find a setting/switch for this.

There may be other solutions ..... any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

If you try Mozilla (amongst others) you can right click on a link and then you have an option to either open it in a new window, or in a new 'tab' in your current browser.

And it has a popup blocker, worth it for that alone...

At home I use IE and a 56 K modem. So it makes sense to open a couple of windows at the same time.

Every time I first open IE anew to avoid overriding, although, e.g. ThaiVisa-links open automatically a new one.

Sny link I do open with "Open in Neww Window".

SHIFT+Click works in IE and Opera and possibly Mozilla as well.

Paul, another reason for switching to Firefox. Tabbed browsing etc. makes it simple to do what you are asking.

hi´

yo :

right ... switch to Firefox

the best of the moment

happy with it, I still use netscape 7.2 ... but Firefox is a bit faster, just a bit

Go here to learn about firefox - it's better than IE. Really.

Obviously, Firefox or Gozilla might be better but by and large IE has the same functions if you spent a little time exploring it. The right click with the mouse also works in IE, but surely it doesn't have the tab function.

I thought I read somewhere that the new XP SP2 had a new version of IE with "tabbed browsing". Is that not true?

PS. I would certainly try IE if tabbed browsing was added, but until that happens, I will stay with Firefox.

hi'

the "so called" version shiped with Sp2 ... has a major security hole, it allows through activeX to add some BOE(buffer overflow) into your system ..

and no patch from MS yet

don't use IE !

Firefox, Mozilla or Netscape are far better

hi'

just an add to what I said earlier ...

no need for any script ... take a look at this :

Security in IE

it's dated from 2002 ... and this had never been patched by MS, even for IE6

a good example of MS security plans

cheers
