It’s annoying to see the following page everytime I open a new tab window on IE7. Even after I check the “Don’t show this page again” checkbox, it is still opening a new tab with this annoying “You’ve opened a new tab” tab.
How do I turn this off to just show my blank home page?
Open the registry by going to Start -> Run -> Type regedit
Look for the following registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing
Right click on the right window and open a new DWORD value.
Give the name “ShowTabsWelcome“, and right click to modify the value. Make sure is shows 0.
Now open a new tab in IE7, the annoying “You’ve opened a new tab” page is gone!
Great tip! Thanks. I haven’t encountered this though.
duh, just use firefox
@jash:
Your are right on the track! Go FireFox! Thank you for stopping by.
Jash, take care. Even using Firefox you are exposed to such a risk. It’s my own experience.
@Vincent:
I hope I do see the problem in FireFox, otherwise, I don’t know where to look for answer. Thank you though.
Terence,
I’ve the solution. It’s as simple as to delete the corresponding complement. Open FireFox browser —–Tools–Complements—Deactivate/Uninstall.
@Vicent:
That’ doesn’t sound like a great solution. I like FireFox because I am tired of IE. I don’t think any other browser can do what FireFox do fore me.
Thanks so much for this tip. This was driving me mad and your solution took 2 minutes.
