Make Ctrl+Tab in Internet Explorer 7 Use Most Recent Order
If you have a lot of tabs open at a time, it’s sometimes quicker to have Ctrl+Tab switch to the most recent tab instead of the next one to the right. This is the default setting in the Tab Mix Plus extension for Firefox, so a lot of you are probably used to it.
To make Internet Explorer use this behavior, go to Tools \ Internet Options. Click on the Advanced tab.
Check the box for “Use most recent order when switching tabs with Ctrl+Tab”. You’ll need to restart IE7 for this change to take effect.

Quick and probably easy question. Now that I have IE7 up and running, I have 3 tabs that open automatically: Google, Yahoo Mail, and another Google. When I open a NEW tab, it always defaults to about:blank, which I find anoying. Can I default all/any new tabs to just go to Google.com or some other site?
Thanks,
Brian
Fantastic! I was searching the web exactly for this solution! I figured it just MAY be nested somewhere in the settings.
I’m pretty particular about my tabbing and see no use of alt-shifting right to left. I need the most recent order just like the behavior of regular atl-tab. Even Visual Studio supports most recent in application cntrl tabbing.
My problem is that in IE 7 a new tab opens up as the same I started with.How can I correct that and get a blank.Thanks for any advice.
