Default New window opening on certain links rather than opening within your main window!

Dunno if this is just my PC winding me up, but I'm clicking the control panel link, and it's opening the control panel in another window, rather than just loading on the main page.....if that makes sense.

Only way I can stop this happening is by right clicking on the control panel link and selecting "open", otherwise I get a whole load of windows opening for the control panel! Probably just me....as I don;t see any more about this from anyone else

I had something similar happen to me the other day.

When i clicked on a forum to open (NSR for example) it opend in another window!.

Didnt bother to report it as i thought it was my computer.

It's very annoying, The MSN website was doing that for a few months it would suprisingly really infuriate me!!!!!!

the link is fixed now anyway, I think, all in one window

I'm an Internet Explorer fanboy what can I say, lol

I have tabs, using vista so maybe it's something to do with that, but it is only the control panel link!

I have just tested this on my laptop (Vista) running IE and accessing the control panel did not cause it to open in a new tab or window.
