Hmm. Not sure I follow that. If I want to open a link in a new window in IE, I click and hold the link and a pop-up menu comes up. I simply select "Open link in new window." If the link leads to a file, like software, I select "download link to disk" - in some circumstances. Not sure why I would want to view a lot of links at one time. Do they all come up in one window, or do a bunch of windows open up? And wouldn't it take a long time for all of them to load? It takes a long time just to get one page to load sometimes, even with a cable connection. I only have about two dozen or so favorites, and several related ones in a folder in the favorites list. Just go up to bookmarks, then down to the folder, then select the one I want. I never visit all of them on the same day in these groupings. Maybe one or two at the most. I guess I don't do enough browsing to take advantage of something like tabbed browsing. Another thought: would this tabbed browsing work on eBay? That's about the only situation I can think of a use for this, although I don't generally look at all the links on the search results page. Thanks for the explanation. I *think* I got it...
