Removed IE11 - now Win Explorer will not open new tab in same window
I completely removed IE11 from my computer...no reason except I want to use Firefox and want the clutter removed.
This appears to be the only unwanted result of having removed IE11.
Apparently there was a setting stored in the IE11 software that held the information to make Win Explorer open each request to open a new tab do so in the same window.
I believe there has to be a key in the registry that can be set to enable opening tabs in the same window but obviously I don't know what it is so I am in hopes that someone here can identify the appropriate key and tell me what its value needs to be to enable this function. I have no problem with editing the registry.
I have already tried to set the "open in same window option" in the control panel folder options applet but no joy.
Thanks very much if you can help me with this issue.
