Er, that is, I have IE7 and no Tabs. (Get it? Pink cans? Tab? Ah, you're too YOUNG.)

Anyway, I have this snazzy new LAPTOP my snazzy new boss gave me... Running XP Pro SP2, and IE7.

The "New Tab" option is grayed out, and Ctrl + T doesn't work. Yes, "Tabbed Browsing" is selected in options, and I've even played with the "Enable" DWord in RegEdit.

I can't imagine why it's permanently disabled, but IE is the preferred browser for some internal software, so this all would be better if I could get it to work (hence my not wanting to use MY preferred Firefox).

And I can't really BUG the IT folks anymore, as I have bugged them to death regarding this crappy Lotus Notes on here...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

"pink cans", well I guess I am to young to understand but have you tried uninstalling IE7 and then reinstalling it.Yup.Go to Tools, Internet Options, General tab, and click on the Settings button in the Tabs SECTION. If the box for "Enable Tabbed Browsing ..." is not checked, check it, click OK, click OK again, close IE, open IE. Do tabs work now?Quote
