INTERNET EXPLORER - NEW WINDOW

In either My Computer or Windows Explorer, go to Tools|Folder Options; on the General page you have two choices for Folder Options; select Open each Folder in its Own Window.  Please note that this will apply not only to your browsing in IE, but to all browsing among folders within Windows.  (Why did they do it this way, ask BG!)

Ty the tweak below:

let me know the observations.

There wasn't any setting to open a new windows in IE , Advanced tab only shows ;
"Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"
which means;
"Specifies that when you click a Web link in an Internet-aware program, such as Outlook Express, and there is already an Internet Explorer window open, the Web page appears in the open browser window instead of opening a new window."

If you unchecked "Reuse window for launching shortcuts"  & clicked on a URL address in OE it would use a new window in IE.
To get IE to open a new window  press Ctrl+N  , hold Shift key while clicking URL link  or right click on a  site URL link address & select  "Open in new window".

If you want a Browser to open a new window for below items ;
You can download  FREE tabbed Browser called Avant, similar to IE  from;

Options : Address box , Favorites , Search & History.
Also with Mail , "Send a Link"  puts active URL address in OE body not as Attachment like IE.
Uses same Favorites & Links as IE.
Hold "Shift" key while clicking site URL link to open new Window tab.
To add URL link  use Favorites > Add
To close Tab double click on it.
