Mike, Many thanks. Turns out I already had the tabs set to be a second line in the menu, but hadn't turned off some of the other checkboxes.

The first 2 notes about tab browsing may require sighted help: *** I read on another Microsoft forum that it is by design and will not be changed. Here's what I found easiest on Win7: -Right click on your title bar or menu bar -Enable "Show tabs on a separate row" -Goto Tools>Internet Options>Tabs -Deselect all the Tabbed Browsing options -Move down to the section: "When a new tab is opened, open:" -In the drop down menu select "Your first home page" Click "OK" and then "Apply" Restart IE11. Going forward your will, unfortunately, have an extra bar across the top, but every time you open a new window it will be the first tab, so to speak. You won't have all the tabs populated across the toolbar. Not exactly disabling, but it works for me. Hope this helps others. *** I turn off tab browsing in ie 11 and the next time I open ie 11 tabs are back on. How do I keep tabs turned off. I have re-tested this on IE11 Windows 7. Take the following actions:- 1. Towards the top right hand corner of IE 11 there is a wheel icon that, if you hover your mouse over it, displays:- Tools (Alt+X) Click that wheel icon then, from the options that appear, click on:- Internet options The: Internet Options window should open. 2. In the:- Internet Options window the tab called:- General should be open (if it isn't click that tab). 3. Still in the: General tab there is a section called:- Tabs, Click: Tabs so that the window called:- Tabbed Browsing Settings - opens. 4. In the: Tabbed Browsing Settings window place a tick (check) in the box called:- Open only the first home page when Internet Explorer starts Click: OK Internet Explorer should return to the window called: Internet Options click: OK 5. Close your IE11. 6. Re-open IE11 and only 1 tab will be displayed. As far as I can see the above procedure addresses the issue that you have raised. *** Open IE 10, click Help, click About Internet Explorer, uncheck the 'Install new versions automatically' box. This (I hope) prevents IE 11 from returning. Take care.

Sort of what I thought. Why do they have to mess with things that are working well? Appreciate your validation of my assumptions. Happy New Year!

If you want to disable Tab browsing, uninstall IE11 & install IE10 or, if you had IE10 previously , uninstalling IE11 will take you back to IE10. HTH Take care.

Never thought of that. Works like a charm, but now I wonder if you can step over to your iEasyChair and tell me how to disable Tabs browsing in IE 11? Perhaps a registry change?

So, go to Tools / Options / General Tab, Home Page Field& Type the following: about:blank and then select Apply & OK to save the changes. Take care.

I like having it open with a blank page, and would prefer having separate windows open, rather than dealing with tabs.
