Firefox and Safari web browsers have provided users with tabbed browsing, allowing you to have multiple web pages open at the same time and within t
he same window. You will now find tabbed browsing available in Internet Explorer version 7 (IE7). In addition to being able to open multiple tabs to view different web pages, you can set tabs in IE7 to launch multiple home pages. A home page in Internet Explorer is the page that displays when you open IE. You can choose to have a blank page open, the default web page that came installed on your computer, or you can select a specific web page to display. You may like IE to open with your weblog displaying or the weather website or your business website – or all three on different tabs. Though you can have countless tabs open at the same time, the more you have open, the slower your machine will run. For this example, we will setup two home pages, each on a different tab of IE7. Things You’ll Need:-
- Internet Explorer version 7
Steps:-
1.With Internet Explorer 7 open, click on Tools in the top menu bar, and then click on Internet Options. The Internet Options dialog box will open.
2.On the General tab of the Internet Options dialog box, and under “Home page”, you will see the URL for your current home page or, you will see “about:blank” if no home page has been saved.
3.There are two ways to add a home page. One way is to type the URL in the box under “Home page” on the General tab of the Internet Options dialog box. At the same time, you can override the blank page. In the example image (click the image to enlarge it), the words “about:blank” where highlighted and then typed over with the chosen home page (or the delete key could have been pressed with the words highlighted, and then the URL typed in).
After clicking the OK button of the Internet Options dialog box, the next time that Internet Explorer is opened, the selected URL will display as your home page. Read on to learn how to add additional home pages. NOTE: The second way to add a home page is shown in Step 5. 4.Multiple tabs of Internet Explorer 7 can be set as home pages. With IE open, click to open a new tab (or press the CTRL key along with the t key). A new, blank page will display.
5.Locate the website that you want to make your second home page. With the web page showing on the newly opened tab, repeat Step 1 and click on Tools in the top menu bar, and then click on Internet Options. The Internet Options dialog box will open. 6.In the “Home page” box, click at the end of your first URL, press the enter key, and then click on the “Use current” button. The URL of your new tab will then appear immediately beneath the first URL.
Click the OK button, and the next time you open Internet Explorer, two tabs will display for the two home pages that you have selected.
7.If you want to delete any of the home pages so they do not display when you open IE, repeat Step 1. Highlight the URL you no longer want as a home page, and then press the delete key.
The order that the tabs open, left to right in IE, are dependent on the order the URLs appear in home page box. To re-order them, press the “enter” key to create a blank line above or below the location to which you want to relocate the URL. Highlight the URL you want to move, then hold down on the CTRL button and click the x key. That will cut the URL from its current location. Re-position your insertion point to the new location and then while holding down on the CTRL key, press the v key. That will paste the URL into the new location.
