The tab browse in an Internet Explorer 7 has many settings that you can change. You can customize your tab browse and experience. So, how to get to the settings, click on tools and then click on Internet options and then make sure that you’re on the general tab and then go down to the tabs section and click settings and here’s your tab browsing settings.
Now, the first one will totally turn off tabs if you uncheck it, so if you don’t want to use the tab browsing go ahead and uncheck it, and then you need to restart Internet Explorer, and you won’t have tabs anymore.
Now, if you do decide to have tabs you have to follow an option below this. You can get a warning when you’re closing multiple tabs, just go to dialog box that says, “You’re closing three tabs, are you sure you want to do that?” You have where you can always switch to new tabs when they are created so when you create one it will automatically take you over to that one. You can enable quick tabs. You can open only the first homepage when Internet Explorer starts. You can open new tabs next to the current tab that you’re on instead of at the end. You can open homepage for new tabs instead of a blank page.
Now, when you do encounter a pop-up, there’s a couple of ways you can specify you want Internet Explorer to handle it. You can let Internet Explorer decide. You can always open the pop-up in a new window or you can simply open the pop-up in a new tab.
You also have links from other programs. You can have this open in a new window, a new tab which opens in your current window or in the current tab or window that you’re in. So, those are the options you have for your tab browsing. You can also use the restore defaults button which will take you back to the defaults. I like my options I have here. I’m going to go ahead and click the OK button, and then OK again, and now my tab settings are safe.
