IE6's ctrl + L mouse click

[mychen]

Hi,

Does this happen to anybody?

In Internet Explorer -- hold down CTRL and then LEFT MOUSE CLICK ONCE -- a new browser window opens.

It's been happening on my Win2K machine...so far, I've tried:
- uninstall IE6 SP1 and restoring to IE5. Didn't work. Reinstalled IE6. Problem persisted.
- spyware and virus scans in Safe Mode...

PLEASE HELP!

Right. That's exactly the fuction that I'm looking for...

But now, something's messed up and I'm getting a new browser window... Please help me stop this from happening...

ctrl + click is apparently to open a tab in IE7 (all i can find..)

do you have a toolbar installed? apparently if tool bar like yahoo blocked a popup, you can use ctrl+click to open the window

that's all i can find..

Never had a toolbar installed...

IE7? That ships with Vista, right?

So is there anyway that I can disable this? As you know, IE6 doesn't have tabs.....
