Just a correction to my prior message. It is the Open in a new Window choice. The quick way to do it, is to go to the link, press APP key, and hit N. The link will open in a new window. Sorry for whatever confusion caused.

But in many cases, when a link won't work, and if you are running IE, I have a work around, that might prove helpful to some users. Use your arrow keys, or the tab key, to place your cursor on the link. Then press the APP key, and the context menu will open. Usually, the very first choice on this menu is OPEN. Scroll there, and hit Enter. This will force the link to open. Another thing that you find on the context menu, and which has proven helpful in many cases, is the OPEN IN A NEW TAB choice. Let me give you but a couple of examples, to show where it can be helpful. Hopefully this will give you all ideas, as to situations where you usually have been left with a lot of page scrolling. If you go to places like EBay, search for a product, and get a list of fifty listings. You can scroll down to one, and press enter. Oh, yes, you will be taken to that listing. Now, what if this proved not to be what you were looking for; so you want to go back to the list, and look at the next item for sale. Simply pressing the PAGE-BACKWARD button (alt-Left, or backspace) has proven useless. You are taken back to the list, but placed at top of the page, and can start your browsing all over. If, on the other hand, you scroll down to the item you want to look at, then hit the APP key, scroll down to 'open in a new tab', and hit Enter. Here, IE will leave the window you are in - holding the list of items for sale - and open a brand new window, holding the actual product description etc. When finished reading the AD, all you do is hit CTRL-F4, and the window will be closed, you taken right back to your original window - that is the list of items - and placed right where you left. Now simply use your arrow keys, and continue to read. Please note, only use CTRL-F4, to close the 'new' window. Using ALT-F4, will close IE totally, and you are to start all over again. The same procedure I have found, is quite useful, when looking up something on the net. Let's say you want to read about Air conditions. You open your search engine - like Google or Yahoo. Enter your search term, and press ENTER. When you browse the list of results, and you hit one that you think would be intersting, use the App key and 'open in a new tab' combination. When finished reading the article, close the window with CTRL-F4, and you are right back in the list of search results. Again, this was but two examples where this has been helpful for me. Hope it helps others. Unfortunately, more and more pages seem to be constructed the way, that when you come back to the page with Alt-Left, you are taken to the top of the page. Refinding your position on the page can be rather time consuming, and for me resulted in less hair on my head. :) After discovering the procedure described above, it has been a breeze to browse through search results, and look up the ones that might givbe me the answer I am after. Please let me know, if anything in my description was unclear. I know, some have suggested putting a placemarker on the original page, before pressing the link. Good idea, only that you have to do so, for each link you look up. If you are searching for a new guitar on Ebay, you might have to put a placemarker on 75 different links, before you finally hit the offer you wish to go for. With the above procedure, you don't have to go through all that placemarker stuff.
