IE7 new tab

[brianashman]

When ever I type in a site's address that is different than the current tab's address (e.g. I am on

http://www.microsoft.com

and type in

http://www.yahoo.com)

the new address opens in a new tab, instead changing the current tab's address. What setting would change stop this from occuring?

Does the same thing happen when running in no add-ons mode? You could also try the 'restore defauts' button in the tab options.

By starting IE with the -extoff option, problem went away. Then disabled add-ons one by one & found the culprit: IE7Pro has an option under Base Settings for "Open new tab from address bar" unchecked that & now am ok. Thanks for pointing the way.
