Default How to NOT jump to new tab (=stay on current web page) after click "Open in new tab" ?

As you know the user can (right) click on a link on a web page in IE7 and select "Open in new tab"
The referrred URL is then opened in a new tab.
Unfortunately IE wants to jump immediately to this new tab as well.

But I want to stay on the current tab (web page) and read the new tab (web page) later.

How can I turn off the automatic jump to the just opened new tab?
I found no preference.

Paul

There is an option for this in IE7
Tools | Internet Options
General Tab
Tabs section, Settings button
uncheck Always switch to new tabs when they are created
and hit OK and that should do it

you can also CTRL + Click on a link and it will automatically open a new tab
in the background
or you can middle click on a link and it should also open new tabs in the
background
