How to Get IE Tabs

Tabbed browsing is a feature that is available in Internet Explorer that enables users to have multiple Web pages open in the same window. The feature was introduced in Internet Explorer 7. Once tabs are enabled, you can switch from one tab to another with the click of a mouse. This saves time and can increase productivity, because you do not have to keep minimizing and maximizing open windows to find the one you need. To enable the feature, you need to access the Internet Options utility in Internet Explorer.

Instructions

1. Launch Internet Explorer.

2. Click "Tools" from the menu bar. Select "Internet Options" from the drop-down list.

3. Click the "General" tab in the Internet Options window.

4. Click "Settings" in the "Tabs" section.

5. Click the "Enable Tabbed Browsing" check box to select it. Click the "OK" button and then click "OK" again.

6. Close Internet Explorer and re-open it, to complete the process. Tabs will now be enabled on the browser.
