I heard the "I.E. 7 Tips and Tricks" file on What Is New. It sounded
like before entering an additional web site address, they were hitting
enter twice, but didn't say that in the instructions. Accidentally, I
found out that you can go to a web page, set it as a home page as you
described, but you can go to another web page and set it as a home page
too. Pretty counterintuitive, I know.
I have no idea how many you could set to open as tab pages in this
manner.
I bet that if you do keep AdAware and run it in a few weeks, you'll
still have nasty objects showing up.

Subject: some IE 7 questions
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
