Unwanted tabs in IE7
      #394290 - Thu May 15 2008 01:07 PM

I've recently set up a new google-mail account for my wife. I use Firefox all the time but, for demarcation reasons, I've started her off on IE7.

Her 'tab bar' is now populated with sites she uses, her mail-box, google, National Trust etc., and she knows how to save the tabs and open them next time she uses IE7.

But I can't stop 'Windows Live Search' adding itself to the tab bar, sometimes twice each time we 'open' and these have to be closed manually.

Is there a way to stop this annoying habit of IE7 ? ...........

I suppose the first question must be, what have you got showing in Tools, Internet Options, Home Page? Whilst you're on that page, what have you got under Search, Settings?

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.

You are quite right Greysts - as ever ! In 'internet options ' I've simply changed her 'home page' to basic google. Problem solved..... Ta !
