Okay, I'll teach you if you don't already know. Requirements: Mouse(Not a laptop mouse), and you need a mouse with one of those scrolling thingies that is able to push down and click on stuff.Okay all you have to do is find a link like... For example: Welcome,(Your Username). Click on that with the little scroler in the middle and a new tab will open and both will be different colors. It will change colors everytime you do it until it runs out of colors and then it'll go back to the first color you saw.
 
No, it doesn't. Maybe it does it on your computer, with your programs, but it doesn't do it on mine.
 
Nope, Not that. I don't have Mozilla. I have internet explorer, It's different than what that looks like.
 
I think that it's something that happens in Internet Explorer 8 when opening new tabs from current ones.

No, Hold on. Let me explain this a little better, Use the mouse scroler that scrolls down and you know how if you click with that thingy? Well it makes an up arrow and a down arrow, Well instead of clicking on a webpage click on a link. Then it opens a new tab with what you clicked on, In a color.

The phrase you're looking for is "scroll wheel". A wheel...that scrolls the window!

On my Vista x64 Ultimate SP2 box, clicking the scroll wheel brings up the application switcher screen.

Which I didn't know, so thanks for that.

It just opens up the link in a new tab for me.

In that case, IE8 has done that since it was released. It's just a stock feature. It groups all your tabs by color so the links you open from GTP will all be, for example, yellow, the tabs for gamestop will be green, etc.
 
FF doesn't have colors, but I just learned that the middle button/scroll wheel button opens links in a new tab. Very useful. thanks.
 
Yeah, The computer did install updates, So the Internet explorer is probably number 8. I don't know though.

Yep, that's what my Vista Home Premium did as well. I knew it did that, but I don't need to use it as I don't generally have loads of windows open at once.
 
Scroll clicking in FF will apparently also close tabs....

Now I have to find the Mobo I was looking at on NewEgg again, thanks Snowboard_kid.

I love History though.

I usually do, and until now had never really explored Vista's app switching capabilities, mainly concentrating on Alt-Tab. Windows 7 ****ing rocks at app-switching, by the way.

Although I've learned the new technique, I have yet to use it however.
 
Good lord. :rolleyes:

Can this be locked now, please?
 
It has nothing to do with if I like it or not. You brought the thread back from the dead with a completely pointless and cryptic post (so much so that you don't even know what you meant) and yet you object to the notion that it should be locked?

Edit: tree'd be daan.
