Why do you want to do this ?

Never heard or tabbing ?

download and install mozilla firefox - keep one window but several webpages in tabs which you can flick through by clicking the tabs.

IE7 has this feature too

If I have over seven sites open they do not appear on my toolbar...........there is just one icon which i have to click on and then find the site I want to go back to in a list !

I understand what you are saying but windows is grouping them automatically...

So you have to right click on the group and select the page you want.

But what I am suggesting is that you can update your web browser so that you manage your opened webpages more easily

Right-click on your Taskbar, then choose Properties. Then untick 'Group similar taskbar buttons'

But the best way is to use a tabbed browser, like CrC-3rr0r is suggesting.

Or right click on the Taskbar, uncheck "Lock The Taskbar" and then hover over untill you see an arrow facing upwards, click and drag the taskbar up. :)

Thanks. I see people with 10+ copies of IE open grrrr. They should just get an up to date browser lol.

I installed Firefox 2 the other day (from 1.5) and it's pretty good.

Add folders in the links folder and have different folders for different sites ie: Games, Drivers etc. You then get a drop-down-box effect.

Opera is a good browser too, one of my faves.

But, if you want a pretty good IE-based browser (other than IE7) then Maxthon is pretty good too.

I might have to install opera as I'm currently doing a full upgrade on this machine...

ubuntu dapper->edgy

I noticed that I'm going to be upgraded to firefox2 :( I just hope I can downgrade to 1.5. I couldnt see 1.5 on mozilla's site ?

I installed FireFox 2 the other day. Seems to be working fine so far.
