Is it possible to disable this "CTRL-click" functionality? I have an ASP
application that I access via IE7. One of the functions that should be
available is to select multiple non-consecutive items from a list. However,
when I now attempt this, I instead get a new browser window. The
"SHIFT-click" function still works correctly for consecutive items. A work
around would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Joel

Don't use tabs?

Other users have determined that the cause of that symptom
is some nVidia software which can be disabled.

Have you tried running IE in no add-ons mode? I've just tested IE7 here with
a select list on a form and Ctrl+left click for multiple selections works
fine. This suggests that you might have something else running that is
capturing the Ctrl+left click and making it work differently than MS
intended. Do you have Google Toolbar installed by any chance? Or another
toolbar add-on?

Oh, I did find one reference to this occurring even with all add-ons
disabled in respect of using multiple monitors with an nVidia graphics card,
it seems that the nVidia drivers hook the Ctrl+left click handling to deal
with allowing windows to be opened on a different monitor than the one IE is
on. You can disable this by removing the following line in the system
startup using msconfig.exe

rundll32.exe nview.dll,nViewLoadHook

However, this will disable all nVidia key shortcuts.
