Among the new features found in Internet Explorer 7 is tabbed browsing This allows multiple websites to be contained within a single browser window, using tabs to navigate between them This allows for another cool feature: multiple home pages.

Start by verifying that you have the latest version of Internet Explorer This can be done by visiting the Windows Update, since Microsoft has made IE 7 a "critical" update Go ahead and grab any other updates available while your at it.

Open Internet Explorer You may notice that the menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) is hidden You can hit the Alt key to make it appear temporarily.

Now, click Tools and Internet Options Go to the General tab.

Think for a moment, about what websites you routinely visit Add a few of their URLs to a separate line inside the 'Home page' dialog box.

Click OK to save the new settings and close out of Internet Explorer.

The next time you launch IE it will open all of your home pages in separate tabs.

It's that simple Cheers!
