    Mozilla has a nice feature which lets you open a link in a new tab or window by clicking on it with the middle mouse button.. Anyone know if it's possible to do something similar with IE 5?

    I usually press shift while clicking (I always browse boards this way when using IE). Don't even need a 3-button mouse to do that. Don't know if it can be done using the middle button on the 3-button mouse without involving the keyboard.

    my mouse came with a setup utility that lets you customise what the middle button does, i'm pretty sure you can set it to open link in new window.

    it's for a labtec optical mouse, but it works fine perfectly with my balled microsoft intellimouse as well.

    If Kopf wanted another browser, Kopf would have asked for one.
