Open a new tab to your home page in Internet Explorer

By default, Internet Explorer displays the Welcome to tabbed browsing page when you open a new tab by clicking the New tab button or by pressing CTRL + T. If you prefer that your home page appear when you open a new tab, follow these steps.

To display the home page on new tabs

1.

Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Internet Explorer.

2.

Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

3.

Click the General tab, and then, under Tabs, click Settings.

4.

In the Tabbed Browsing Settings dialog box, select the Open home page for new tabs instead of a blank page check box, and then click OK twice.

Notes
  • If you open a new tab and see a page that says "You've opened a new tab" after you've followed the steps above, select the Don't show this page again check box, and then click Close. When you restart Internet Explorer, your home page will display whenever you open a new tab.
  • If you have multiple home page tabs, only the first home page in your list will open in the new tab.
