    Hello napcat,

    Your sure not living up to your signature. Where's the curiosity? :)

    Open link in new will do just that, opens the link in a tab next to the tab your now using.

    Open a link in a new window loads another separate browser task. You will wind up with 2 or more IE's opened on the taskbar.

    While I am happy to help, this question leaves one to ask, "why didn't you do both of these to see what the result or difference was, yourself. :confused:
