Before internet explorer 7 came out, I used to use a product called "Collector" by Hiroshi Takahashi that came bundled with TeraTerm Professional Enhanced version http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/
It was meant to capture VT console windows into a single tabbed interface to make tracking them easier when remotely administering servers via telnet and ssh. I also used it to collect IE6 windows into a single tabbed interface.
Thanksfully, I no longer need to kludge together my own IE-based tabbed browser.
By default in IE7 tabs are enabled but pop-up links or requests for new browser sessions (ctrl-click) open a new window not a tab in the current active IE window.
To have new windows and pop-ups open new tabs by default:
1. Open IE7
2. Click Tools
3. Click Internet Options
4. Click Settings
5. Check the "Always open pop-ups in new tab" box
6. Click OK until you are back in your browser
You should now be able to click on links to pop-up windows or CTRL-click on a link and they will all open in tabs by default.
Enjoy!
