How To Open A Hyperlink In A New Window

Ok, so you're cruising along on the World Wide Web and you wind up on a page that's pretty interesting. You're happily reading the page when you notice a hyperlink to something else that looks pretty interesting, too. Now you're torn - you want to finish the page you're on, but you don't want to forget to click the hyperlink. You're pretty sure, though, if you click on the hyperlink right now you might get lost and not be able to get back to the page you're currently on.

The solution is simple: Instead of clicking the hyperlink, right-click the hyperlink. When you right-click a hyperlink, you get a pop-up menu that will look something like this >>>

The exact menu you get when you right-click a hyperlink could be different from the examples above, but it doesn't matter. You're simply going to look for the choices "Open in New Window" or "Open Link in New Window" or something similar. When you see it, click on it. The hyperlink will open up in a brand new window so you can keep your place on the web page you are on, but still check out an interesting hyperlink.
