If you’re like most people, you use the Internet Explorer 7 browser to surf the web. But if you’re like some people, you also use it to tab through your web pages, one after the other. That’s great when you’re on a single page, but it can be a pain when you’re on a page with lots of tabs. In IE7, clicking on a tab takes you right to that tab’s content. But if there are other tabs open in IE7, clicking on a tab will instead take you to the first page in the new tab window. To fix this problem, open IE7 and click on the Tools menu (it’s in the top-left corner of most browsers). Then click on Internet Options. On the General tab, click on the Tabbed Browsing button and make sure that “Enable Tabbed Browsing” is checked. Click OK and close IE7. Now every time you open a new browser window, IE7 will start up with its default settings and your tabs will work as they should. ..
There’s two ways that you can disable tabbed browsing. The easiest way is to just follow these steps:
Click the Tools button, and choose Internet Options Click the Settings button in the Tabs section: Uncheck Tabbed Browsing as shown here:
This method is probably the simplest, and should usually be used.
If you are a system administrator, here are some registry hacks to Enable/Disable Tabbed Browsing. Just unzip, and double-click. Note that the disable registry hack will force the setting on the users, so they can’t enable it without the enable registry hack.
