The user is supposed to be able to set options for tabs so that links from
other programs open in a new tab in the browser, rather than opening in the
same tab in the same window. This is the way tabs work in Firefox and
Netscape 8. Even though I changed the options for IE 7 to do this, and
restarted the browser, the setting doesn't take. The new link comes into the
same tab that is currently active, overwriting the current webpage with the
new one. That takes away the whole advantage of tabbed browsing. This must be
a bug. It is now necessary to open a new tab manually, leave it active, then
go back to the other program and activate the link. Needs more work, MS. For
now I stick with Firefox.
