...of your mouse? Just hover to the link then press the scroll then your browser will automatically open a new tab to load the link. Easy huh? Lol!
I just learned about this trick from a friend when he saw me right clicking then pressing "open in new tab". He's told me it would be easier if i just press the scroll of my mouse. I tried and tested it and it worked! I'm just surprised hehe. I just didn't know that the scroll's got another purpose aside from scrolling.
Very useful for PTCs.

Thank you for this tidbit of info. I thought I knew all the tricks. I have developed so many ways of surfing with one hand its ridiculous. This one will increase my productivity a hundredfold!! Didn't know about that but the scroll is kind of new to me, didn't have it on my older mouses. Now I am a scrolling fanatic!!!

That's great! Back then, i used to tell my friend that i'm not used to using the scroll but he told me that it needs a lot of getting used to. So i bought this optical mouse with scroll and now i feel like there's something missing without the scroll.

You certainly flatter me...LOL. I may have been in the IT industry for more than 20 years and tinker with my own PC, but I'm still no where near a "top dog". This is one industry that keeps evolving, and what one knows now will become obsolete in no time, so in this industry, one can never stop learning and discovering new things.

I knew of this, yes. It works both in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I don't know of the other browsers...

thanks for sharing this information, modstar. this computer thing really has features too plenty to be learned all of them at a quick time.
knowing that so much more can be done magically with the use of the computer, i just do not want to explore them all anymore. i am so used to using the line "do it for me my dear, i am too old to be learning all the new tricks". well, my children have become so used to hear me saying that they will just laugh while being obliged.
