How to Set IE to Launch Multiple Tabs

Are you a database searcher opening tabs and switching databases throughout the day?   Are you monitoring news media sites and blogs?  Change your IE homepage to launch to all your frequently used sites simultaneously!  I did and am saving lots of time having all my database sign-in pages launch from the get-go!  I then use FireFox for general web browsing.

 

 Here’s how to create multiple tabs as  your IE homepage:

1. Launch Internet Explorer
2. Click on the Tools Menu
3. Select Internet Options
4. Click on the General Tab
5. Scroll down on the General tab to see the Tabs heading, “Change how webpages are displayed in tabs.”  
6. Click on the Settings button.  From the list under Enable Tabbed Browsing, uncheck “Open only the first home page when Internet Explorer starts.”  
7. Then back on the General Tab, under Home Page category, type in or paste each of the URL’s you want to use as your start page for IE.  Each needs to be on a separate line.  
8. Repeat until you have all the sites you want to launch at start up.  
9. Click OK
10. Close and launch IE to see them all open.
