# Windows

These settings change the behavior and appearance of pages and windows.

## Windows handling

You can decide how pages and application windows should behave:

- Whether links should open in a tabbed page in the same application window (MDI), or open in an entirely new application window (SDI)
- Whether new pages should always be maximized
- Whether bookmarks should be opened in the active page or a new page
- Whether to show scrollbars in pages
- Whether to show size of pages (used to see how Web pages look at particular resolutions)

## Pop-up handling

Turn off pop-ups if they annoy you. Turn them back on with `F12` on sites that use pop-ups for log-in and other useful purposes.

Tip: You can configure opera to only open pop-ups you have requested.

## Page cycling

You can choose how `Ctrl` + `Tab` should work:

1. Show menu with the most recently used pages on top
2. Show menu and cycle through pages in the order you created them
3. Cycle pages without showing list
