Multiple Homepages

Having multiple tab capabilities also means that you can have multiple home pages in Internet Explorer 7.0.

Setting Up a Home Page

To set up a default home page in Internet Explorer 7.0, you navigate to the web page. Then click the drop down arrow of the Home icon and select Add or Change Home Page from the context menu.

In the resulting dialog, select Webpage as your only home page and click Yes.

Now every time you launch Internet Explorer, you this website will load.

Loading Addition Homepages

If you want Internet Explorer to load additional websites upon startup, you can add additional home pages in other tabs. To do so, navigate to the site you want to add. Then click the drop down arrow of the Home icon and select Add or Change Home Page from the context menu as before.

This time, select Add this webpage to your home page tabs in the resulting dialog.

Now both sites will load upon Internet Explorer 7.0 startup. This is handy if you alway like to have your favorite search engine up and also your webmail and also you favorite news site, etc.

Removing Homepages

What if you don't want any sites to load upon browser startup. You just want an empty page so the browser doesn't have to take extra time loading sites.

Go to the Home icon context menu again and select Remove. Now you can remove individual homepages or you can remove all home pages with the Remove All menu item. We are going to select the Remove All menu.

Say yes to the resulting dialog...

And now when the browser loads, you will see a blank page.
