In IE8, I have selected, under the Internet Options / Tabs /
Settings (Tabbed Browsing Settings) - to open links, pop-ups and
shortcuts all in a new tab in the current window. In every case, I am
still asked to allow pop-ups for this site, and/or I must select "Open
in a new tab". Seems like the option settings are not being read. This
worked as advertised in IE7. I have set the Pop-up blocker to block
all pop-ups, but I thought that this meant only those that I did not
"click" on.

What is "this site"? You aren't even posting from the web interface
so it doesn't even seem safe to guess you meant that.

That's why they allow you to press Alt+Ctrl+ when you click on one.

Obviously I have failed to communicate what I meant: by "this site" I
meant the site to which the link pointed. And *this* posting is from
Forte Agent, which I use for all my net forum communications. I did
specify that IE 8 was the subject of my concern.

I fail to understand why this key combination answers my question -
why does IE 8 require my manual intervention when I have already
indicated in the options that I want all shortcuts on which I click to
open in a new tab, as it worked so well in IE 7. Thank you for your
response. However my question is still unanswered.
