Background tabs in IE7

Marty999

When browsing the MSE site on my home PC, I can right click on a hyperlink and have a new tab open. This always happens in the background , i.e. the original tab remains the active tab. When I do the same thing on my PC in the office, the new tab becomes the active tab, and the original tab is still available but is no longer active. I have looked through the various options but without any luck - can anybody advise me please how I can open new tabs in the background?

If you go to Tools then Internet Options, on the general tab click settings near the bottom where it has "change how webpages are displayed in tabs" then uncheck "Always switch to new tabs when they are created". This should fix it.

Well done Mac, that's sorted it!
