Windows Explorer

I no longer use IE7, so I cant check. But it sounds like you need to go into settings and look for an option about new tabs or windows opening to home page.

I have IE 7, and although I usually open in new tab in the currently open window, I just checked and opened several instances without problems. Of course each new instance opens with the home page(s), but the already open windows are not affected, they show the tabs that I opened in them. The last opened one takes focus.

I am sorry. The only things I can suggest is that you check your tabbed browser settings, see if you can set them to open in new ab rather than new window when you click a link. Also, I find Ctr+mouse click works.

 

You could post the issue in the newsgroup for IE 7,

Yopu need a passport or Windows Live login and password to post

 

Or if you prefer you can use Outlook Express, create a new newsgroup account. The server is msnews.microsoft.com, the newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general. No password or login required to post.

 

There is also a feed back site where you can look through reported issues, there might be a workaround, or post as a new issue (you need a passport or Live login name and password):
