Hi eilatoo! :)

The following should be a registry setting of MS internet explorer 8 ONLY.

I did not check if it could work for the following versions of MSIE.

  • Open regedit
  • navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
  • inside the panel on the right, search TabProcGrowth
  • set it to 0
  • if TabProcGrowth does not exist: create a new key DWORD and give it that name--> TabProcGrowth <-- then set it to 0

Looking forward for your kind feedback.
