By default, tabbed browsing should be enabled for Internet Explorer 7, allowing you to open websites in multiple tabs inside the same browser window.

Depending on your configuration, tabbed browsing might have accidentally been disabled and you want to turn it on. Or, you may hate tabbed browsing, wanting this "feature" removed. Turning off tabbed browsing changes the Internet Explorer 7 interface slightly as shown in the below screenshot.
