Thank you Steve, I would be happy to post in the Ineternet Explorer newsgroup
but I can only find one specific to ie6 and I'm using ie7.
Do you have the power to ask for a new newsgroup for ie7? The ie6 newsgroup
is full of ie7 questions.
In the mean time, I've just discovered that Ctrl+T also does not work on my
machine to open a new blank tab.
Could these be connected and, if so, do you know where I could go to find a
solution (polite answers only, please ;-).
