Tabs, Accelerators, and InPrivate Browsing: recommended links

This information applies to Windows Internet Explorer 8.

When you open a new tab in your browser, you have a number of options. You can:

• Type or paste an address into the Address bar to navigate to a new webpage.

• Use any number of Accelerators, which enable you to select text and use it to do such things as opening a street address in a mapping website or looking up the dictionary definition of a word.

• Turn on InPrivate Browsing, which enables you to surf the web without leaving a trace by automatically clearing your website history when you close the browser window.

• Reopen tabs you have previously closed, either in your current browser session or in a previous one.
