    I have explorer 9 running on windows vista
    when I right click a link, I no longer have the option to open it in a new tab.
    Tabs are enabled, and I can open them manually by clicking on the button, but I can no longer open a new webpage directly into one.
    I havent updated anything or changed any settings.
    The option just seems to have disappeared, and I dont know what to do to get it back!
    I have tried disabling/re-enabling tabs, removing and re installing ie9.

    Hold down the ctrl key when you click a link (left click) and it will open in a new tab.

    yes, that works, but how do I get the option to open a link in a new tab back in my right-click menu?
    Its much more convienent to do everything with one hand, rather than two...

    Sorry, Vista is the only version of windows I have no experience using.
