Hi All,
I just installed IE 7 last night, and although I've listened to the "what's 
new with Jaws 8" that fs did I couldn't follow most of it so I have some 
questions.

First, I need to know the easiest way to set up multiple pages as tabs as my 
IE home page.  Last night I tried it and starting with my original home page 
I hit ctrl-t and typed another web address.  I was then able to ctrl-tab 
between my original page and the new one, but there was also an extra page 
that popped up with instructions on setting tabs, and even when I got rid of 
it there was still a blank page there that I would encounter when I 
ctrl-tabbed.  Also when I hit alt-f4 to get out of the home page the extra 
page that I had added didn't stick and I ended up back with just the page 
that was originally there.  Can somebody explain how to set tabs so that 
they stay and so that I don't have the extra page in between?

Another thing that I tried with the tabs that didn't work was to open my 
original home page then go to tools and options and try to paste a new web 
address on a new line there, but although my original web address was there 
I couldn't find the end of it with my arrow keys, so I just hit enter 
without really knowing where I was and pasted in the new address and all 
that happened then was that the new web page was set as my home page and the 
original one disappeared.

Also, I read somewhere that IE 7 scans for malicious ware on boot up, does 
this mean that there's no more need for spyware guard and spyware blaster, 
and does it mean that we don't need to use Adaware and Spybot anymore?

That's all the questions for now but there may be more later, thanks in 
advance for any help.
Troy
