  • To set a website as a Homepage which will appear every time IE is launched, do the following:

    • Open a desired website that you want to set it as your Home Page

    • Click the down arrow next to Home button and choose Add or Change Home Page

  • In the Add or Change Home Page dialog box, select either Use this webpage as your  only home page or Add this webpage to your home page tabs, then click Yes button to confirm

    • Close IE and re-launch to launch the Home Page automatically

    • You can have more than one home page if you select Add this website to your home page tabs option

  • Another nice improvement with our tabs to help us stay organized is they are going to be color-coded.

    • Right click on any link in the web page

    • Select Open in New Tab option form the shortcut menu

    • The two tabs are color-coded with the same color to indicate that those tabs are related to each other

  • To close tabs, select a desired tab and do one of the following:

    • Click the little X to the right of it

    • Press CTRL + W

  • To move/rearrange the order of tabs, grab and drop a selected tab to move it to the left or the right

  • To quickly access tabs that have been closed recently, do the following:

    • Right click on any tab on IE

    • Do one of the following:

      • Select Reopen Closed Tab option from the shortcut menu
