IE7: How can I make links open tabs instead of windows?

I click on a link and it automatically opens a new window. How can I set it to automatically open a new tab? The inly way I can make it open in a tab is manually, by right-click the link and click on "Open In New Tab" I'm in Internet Explorer 7.

Also, is there a spell-checker in Internet Explorer 7, like Mozilla Firefox 2.0?
I'm a former Firefox user but I bought a new PC with Vista which came with Internet Explorer 7.

Thanks,

OK, thanks but my mouse doesn't have wheel, is their any other way, on IE7?

 

control+click=open in new tab
