Hello and thanks if you can help. I'm using 3.5 only because of the way latter versions place the new tab first under FILE, While in the older versions place it as your first choice. It's hard for some people to change, I one. I never open tabs I only open windows.... SO the question is if I upgrade and would really would like to is there a way that I can customize my choices as to all ways open a new window and never a tab.

Under Tools > Options > Tabs, uncheck the first box ("Open new windows in a new tab instead").

Although menus are convenient because you get a visual confirmation before taking an action, you might find Ctrl+n to be a faster way to open a new window.

Look at Menu Editor if you want to hide or remove (context) menu entries
