Need Default To Open New Window On Link Click Rather Than Right Mouse Button

It seems like if all our systems cache everything when we are on the net than the back button should be instantaneous with IE but it's not. So therefore what I usually do to save time is right click and open a new window for a link. Then I don't have to click the back button and waste time when I want to go back to the main page because the main page will still be there and all I need to do is close the page I was on.

I often forget to use the right click button to open a new window so I would like to know if there is a way to set up a default so that it will open a new window every time you click on something rather than keep the same window.

Well, I'm not sure if there is a way to do what you want. But I do know you can do Shift + Left Click do get the same effect.

You probably don't want to open a new window ALL the time, so the shift + left click method would probably work best. That's what I use when I use IE.

The back button is instantaneous with Opera, it uses ram caching for that, not just disk caching.
