Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BIGUN 1,427 #14 March 6, 2008 With IE7 or FireFox, here's a couple of tricks I. As others mentioned iGoogle is fun. It can make tabs and you can: 1. Add a variety of gadgets to each tab 2. Move the gadets around on each tab 3. Add themes to each tab See attachment 1 (then click iGoogle in the top right portion of your screen and play). II. Opening Multiple IE7 or Firefox tabs to different pages. Lets say you want your iGoogle, dropzone.com, yahoo, msn.com and scholar.google.com to all open at the same time when you click on your internet browser. 1. In IE7, go to Tools> Internet Options - where there will be a home page text box 2. Type in the the URL's of those website in the order you wish them to appear - See attachment 2 3. Select OK and the next time you reboot IE7 or FireFox, all those tabs will contain the URLs of preference - See attachment 3 Have fun with the gadgets and themes...Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
