Default IE 8 Open In New Tab

IE 8 Right-Click on a URL Open In New Tab does not, it opens a new browser.

Not what I want.
Where do I change this specifically.
I looked in Internet options but do not see anything to do this.
Probably do not know the terminology.

I need to use IE because at the WiFi hotspot it is the only browser that
seamlessly allows me to log in. Others put up stupid seurity crap that
I have to navigate. I've known this hotspot for years so I am not
worried. Other hotspots work with other more secure browsers. So no
lectures please.

TIA

I thought right-click opened a drop down with the choice of how to
display the new site.

Cntl/left-click opens in a new tab. Shift/left-click opens in a new
window.

I agree. If right-clicking immediately open a new window, it means the the
site's JavaScript code changes the right mouse button functionality.

But this happens on all links I use.

I went into Add-Ons and Disabled both Java but that did not stop the
opening of a new window.

How do I stop it?

Java is not same as JavaScript.
In MSIE, JavaScript is also known as Active Script(ing) or just Script.

So how does this help ?

I cannot find any other mention of Script or Java to turn off.

Where is it I go to turn off ?

There are too many options for me
to make sense of them all. Have a look
through this.
