Hopefully the subject line wasn't too confusing, but what I'm asking is, I've
added the "Links" toolbar to the top of my explorer window. I only have 2
linked sites there, and when I click one, it changes the tab from my current
homepage to the new link. However, if I click on the second linked site, it
will reuse that same tab, rather than opening a new one.
What I'm trying to figure out is, is there a way to open a new tab, with a
current tab open, when clicking a linked site, from the links toolbar?
Is anyone as confused as I am just typing that? :o)

Unfortunately, no. (Firefox does however....)

Gordon is correct...I only wanted to add that there are probably many
third-party add-ons that will do what you wish. IE7Pro is one example.
However, before you consider an add-on make sure it is fully compatible
with IE 7.

Okay, thanks for the help. I know I can press the Ctrl key and then click the
link, which will open a new tab, but I was hoping to bypass that extra step
if there was an automatic way of doing it. Thanks again, Tony

That's how Links bar works. Here's a workaround: Open Favorites Center to
Links folder | Click on the blue arrow to the right of the link to open it
in a new tab.
