This is partly for myself, and partly on behalf of guanako.

Are there ant tweaks/hidden options/hacks for Internet Explorer 7 that will facilitate this.

I want new tabs to be opened in the existing window, in cases where a new window is opened normally. For example, if I launch a popup, or if I open a link from an external program. Currently, both these actions will spawn a new windows for the page, but if a windows is already open, I want the page in a new tab of the existing window.

This is a standard option in MSIE...

Tools > Internet-Options > Advanced > Browsing: Reuse windows for launching shortcuts

(or the likes, I have a Dutch MSIE, not an English one)















(I can't confirm if this option still exist in MSIE 7, but I would think so)

The option is still in Internet Explorer 7, but it replaces the last used page with the newly launched link, no matter which window or tab it is in.

I want the newly launched link to open a a new, blank tab, in the last used window, and I don't think that there is a normally accessible option, I'm hoping that the options exists, but is just hidden normally, perhaps because of a bug in it, or that there is a patch for this.

This isnt an open beta ... yet the thread ??
Well i have it already so .....

I always wanted this thanks .... and i dunno why but i kinda like IE's tabs better than FF's (dont start a fight plz ...), though they could have made the colour changes a bit more smoother

Thanks cookie

Ah, then I misunderstood what you wanted, sorry...

Can't help you with that as I don't have the beta of MSIE 7.

In Internet Explorer 7, you can open links in new tabs in several ways.

    * Choose the "Open in New Tab" command from a link's shortcut menu.
    * Click the link with the middle mouse button.
    * Click the link while holding the CTRL key.

when i had the beta (dont have it now) i think i saw an option for that

i think it was in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Tabbed Browsing   or something like that

There are these options. I would think that the first option is what is needed, but it doesn't work.

when looking at in English its kinda hard to find the option that cookie suggested. IE tabs work good, only if they  had more options for them, like the one we are descusing

This is the option that CookieRevised mentioned in English. It is in the Browsing heading.



It isn't what I want though.

anyone have any idea when the Next Beta of IE7 will be commin out?
