When I click a link IE8 always opens a new window instead of creating a new tab. I have clicked Tools --> Internet Options --> Tabs --> "Open Link In Other Programs In" --> "A new tab in current window".
How can I set it so that a new tab is created instead of opening a new window? Or maybe its not possible?
Jump to PostYou better right click the link and select 'open in new tab' option.

that setting has worked for me in the past (although I don't use ie too much). is it perhaps a certain web site that does this? if so it may be down to the code behind their links.
that link probably triggered a pop up or the html code for that link might have had target=new_window...
