new part

Is there a way that when I open a new part that it will open as a tab rather than a new window? It bugs me that I have to switch between windows rather than tabs like more programs these days.

I had an Assembly where I created a New part within the Assembly, and even edited the part to some extent. Then I closed the Assembly window and further edited the part in a normal Part editing window. When I went back to the Assembly, the edited part wouldn't always behave like I wanted it to...
