Force IE to open pop-ups in new tab

Published by rakshit at 9:36 pm under Browsers Edit This

The greatest feature available in IE7 is tabbed browsing which allows you to open new pages in tabs rather than popping up a new window for each page. This makes the taskbar clutter free by not placing one icon each instance of Internet Explorer. However, IE7 by default, opens pop-ups in a new window. By pop-ups, I mean the pop-ups allowed by the user. If you are a regular of some website that uses pop-ups to deliver information, you may want to see these pop-ups in a separate tab rather than having them opened in a separate window.

To make IE7 open the pop-ups in a separate tab, follow these steps.

- Launch Internet Explorer and goto Tools->Internet Options

- In the ‘Internet Options’ window click on ‘General’ tab

- Under the Tabs section, click on Settings

- Here you will find a section named ‘When a pop-up is encountered’

- Under this section select, ‘Always open pop-ups in a new tab’

- Click OK and you are done
