The problem I have is similar but not quite the same. It takes an eternity (1.5 - 
2 sec)for the context menu to be displayed when using IE6.  It appears instantly 
in all other applications. I have tried everything and it is driving me nuts !!

But with regard to the problem you are having tony,  If you hold down the shift key 
when left clicking a link it will open in a new window.

Hope this helps
