Key Points

• The Windows Internet Explorer 7 tabbed browsing interface lets you open multiple Web sites in a single instance of Internet Explorer. You don't clutter up the taskbar, and it's faster and easier to open and switch between sites.

• If you want to quickly return to a site you've already visited, you can locate and open it from the Start menu.

• Not only can you change the home page that opens when you start Internet Explorer, but you can open multiple home pages.

• You can personalize the look of the browser window as well as the way content appears and performs within the window.

• Windows Vista incorporates safeguards that shield computer users from objectionable Internet content. What you see is up to you: You can specify the level of protection you want for yourself and for other users of your computer.
