Opening new tabs in IE8
I have a brand new Acer desktop PC with Vista Home Premium and using IE8 as my browser. I have made the BBC my home page, but when I click to open a new blank page it opens with my home page every time. I have the same set up on my Acer laptop but clicking the tab for a new page there doesn't result in my home page every time. Just wondering if I've checked something I shouldn't have. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Opening new tabs in IE8
Go into Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Tabs (Settings) -> When a new tab is opened, open -> A blank page (in drop down menu). See -->> HERE <<--
Hope this helps.

Re: Opening new tabs in IE8
I had tried that earlier Fusion and that is what I got, a blank page. I was looking for 'about tabs'....it's only a small thing, I just wondered where it had gone [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Thanks anyway.

Re: Opening new tabs in IE8
I'm not sure what you mean by 'about tabs'?

Re: Opening new tabs in IE8
On my Acer laptop I get a page asking what I want to do next, listing several options
Browse in Private
Use an accelerator
Re-open closed tabs
and a few other options
in the url bar it just says 'about tabs'
Bit of a mystery really, but no problem Fusion, I will just use the blank page option [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks again

Re: Opening new tabs in IE8
There's plenty of ways to -->> Disable <<-- the facility you want.
I suspect once you have opted to change the way the tab opens, it isn't available.
Changing a Registry setting, or reinstallation of IE8 may give you this option if you really want it.

Re: Opening new tabs in IE8
Thanks Fusion. Don't think I'll mess around with re-installing, I might make things worse [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Like I said, it's just a small thing.
Thanks for your time

Select The new tab page in the drop down menu shown in Fusion's image.
