Answer 1

Those values are stored in registry , at :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing
value :
ShortcutBehavior
(= 2 in your case)

Answer 2

Thanks Castorix71 ;

So if I set it to = 1
that will shut down open in New Tab ?

Answer 3

Thanks ;
For testing I downloaded RegCool from here :
index_e.html
Changing
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing
from 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 doesn't seem to do anything .
What works only is changing 'Internet Options Tab' to :
Open links from other programs in :
[X] The current tab or window .

Am I doing something wrong ?
ALso is there a chart somewhere that shows what are the valid VALUES for TabbedBrowsing .

This KEY looks interesting :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing\NewTabPage
ALso is there a chart somewhere that shows what are the valid VALUES for NewTabPage ?
The Forum won't let me upload a pic of Registry-page .
I could Post in on my site , if it would help ?

Thanks

Hi Vernon Marsden,
In general, the WebBrowser control uses the same control as the Internet Explorer version installed on the operating system.
You can try to disable the setting using registry.
Please refer to these threads.
How can I get the WebBrowser control to show modern contents?
Use latest version of Internet Explorer in the webbrowser control
Cannot force WebBrowser Control to render using current version of IE

Thanks ;
Have I set this up correctly ? :

Dim rKey As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing\ShortcutBehavior", True)
            Key.SetValue("ShortcutBehavior", 1, RegistryValueKind.DWord)

Thanks
