IE 10/11 'open in new tab' problem

We have a serious Problem with IE 10 with the function “open in New Tab” (also the same Problem with IE 11 Beta).
We got the problem with following setup:
Join the Windwos 7 (64-bit) Client to the domain (W2k8R2 Domain)
User is in the Group “Power Users”

When the User tries to open a link in a new tab (it doesn’t matter how – ctrl+t or center wheel mouse, right click on link) it always opens a new Window instead of a tab!

The problem does not persist when:
User is in Administrators Group (local Admin)
Jor the Workstation is not joined to the domain

FYI: When the Client has joined to the domain and later moved to a workgroup the problem continue...

Any Ideas?

Thanks kalpesh2804 for your fast response

Tried all Method out, but the issue still persist!

I guess it has to do with a Group Policy setting in combination with rigths (because it happens only when users from the power user group login)

Does any one have a clue how to debug maybe this gpo Problem? (if it is a gpo problem...)
While joined to the domain -- i.e. with GPO applied -- compare these settings (banded in red) between Administrators and Power Users groups.User generated imageBesides the commands you listed, Shift+Click should open the link in a new window; Ctrl+Click should open the link in a new tab, by the way.

Thanks Darr247

Tried all different options and also compared with admin user. The seetings are the same - but with different behavior....
Also tried to open tab with all possible combination of keys, keyboard, right click on link --> open in new tab - without any positive result...

An other information: in the same enviroment no problems with tab opening with IE8 !!
