New tab in MSIE 7

[Ike]

I have a page which opens a new browser instance with target="_blank".
Additionally, a cookie is set beforehand in the originating browswer
instance. This works fine in Firefox.

However, MSIE 7 doesn't seem to recognize the cookie in the new instance (it
will in the old instance). Is there a quick means that I can have it open a
new tab, rather than a new browser instance, without having to use
javascript? Is there a means to ament the target="_blank" so that a new tab
opens with the new page? Thanks, Ike

Configure IE 7 Tabbed Browsing Settings.

Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least
triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect
how often we have told it to the same person?

That'll do it for his computer but I got the sense that he wants a page
he wrote to open a new tab when some other user visits it. No way to do
that of which I am aware. Besides, if that ever were made available
(heaven forbid) I'm sure someone would immediately write an extension to
block it from happening.
