xilolee Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 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.

eilatoo Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thank you so much, it definitely worked. Such a simple solution (if one has the expertise), however, so elusive if one doesn't. I'd been trying to find the solution for some time now and only your suggestion has worked.
