Internet Explorer 7.0 Tricks & Tips Have You Installed
Windows Internet Explorer 7 We've received countless emails from folks who have recently installed Windows Internet Explorer 7 and tell us that links in email no longer work. This had us scratching our heads because there were no known issues in IE7 that would cause email links to suddenly stop working. Then it dawned on us (OK, so we're a little slow!) - it's the new "tabs" in IE7 that are causing the confusion! Yes, indeed, it's true. For some unknown reason, the most recent tab is not highlighted or opened by default. So, if you have IE7 open to any page and you then read an email and click any link in it, it will open in a new tab. However, logically, one would assume that the new tab would be the open tab or it would at least be highlighted. But, it is not. This tip should make it easier for all of you who "grew up" without tabs (that would be most of us, eh?). Open Internet Explorer and click "Tools" "Internet Options". By default, the dialog will open to the "General" tab. Near the bottom of this dialog you'll see a section called "Tabs" with a button on the right side with the label "Settings". Click it (Duh!). The second white "box" from the top will, strangely, be unchecked by default. You'll want to check this box to force IE7 to switch to the new tab you opened by default. That way when you click a link in an email, it will open a tab and IE7 will automatically switch to the new tab, instead of burying it in a line of all other open tabs. That should end the confusion many encounter when clicking links in email and thinking the links don't work.
An even better way, for those of you who often have multiple instances of Internet Explorer open, (and therefore wouldn't even know which of those open Internet Explorer windows would contain the new tab created by clicking a link in an email) look closely at the image above. Near the bottom of the "Tabbed Browsing Dialog" you'll see "Open links from other programs in:" and make sure you tick the circle next to "A new Window". Bingo! Now all your links which you click in Outlook Express will open in a new browser window!
