Turn off new browser windows in Vista?

Hi all,

Hopefully this is the right group to post this. I just bought a laptop
with Vista. When I use IE 7 and click on a link, it always opens in a
new browser window. There is a popup or msgbox stating "for your
protection, links are opened in new browser windows" or some such
nonsense. This behavior is starting to get irritating, and the only
way I know to prevent it is to add both the current site and the site
I want to visit to the Trusted Sites list. Obviously, this is very
tedious and I don't necessarily want a site to be Trusted, I just want
to visit it.

Is there any way to turn off this behavior?


Thx,
--JP

IE\Properties\Advanced\Browsing and put checkmark to Reuse windows for launching shortcuts

Um since you know how to use newsgroups, I'm surprised you don't know
that you should be using firefox.

That option is already checked on the IE options page.
