Stopping IE7 displaying the about:tabs page
June 20th, 2007
Another one for IE7 users. Similar to the last one but this time "about:tabs" rather than "about:blank".
If on opening a new tab you see the "about:tabs" page and checking the Don't show this page again check box has no effect, you can modify your Registry to fix the problem (looks like something Microsoft forgot to put in there).
Note: Don't attempt the following unless you're familiar with editing the Windows Registry and are aware of the inherent dangers in doing so. Always export a copy of the Registry (or the bit of it you're changing) before making any changes.
- Go to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing] - Add a new DWORD called
ShowTabsWelcome
with a value of 0 - Restart IE7.
