Hi guys

In IE8, whenever you start a new tab, it gives you a load of thumbnails for the pages you've previously visited.
Is there any way of turning this "feature" off?
I've had a look through the help files (such as they are) but can't find anything.

    That's because it's a Google Toolbar feature.

    Wandered through their help-files as well.
    Still can't see anything.

    Is the toolbar itself visible?

    As TangleFoot post, disable this
    Enabling the Google new tab page

    1. Click the Toolbar's spanner toolbar_31243b_en.gif icon.
    2. On the Search tab, select the 'Enable the Google new tab page' checkbox.
    3. Click the Save button.

    Found and done - no more annoying thumbnails on new tabs.

    Cheers
