Assuming you are using Google Chrome then when you click on the + for a new tab the screen will have thumbnails of your most recently visited sites. Just put the item you wish to search for in the URL bar above.
You can remove them by deleting your browsing history.
Click on the spanner, click on history, then edit then remove browsing history.

Barjam - Open Internet explorer and go to https://www.google.co.uk

Then go to tools > internet options. on the General tab, where it says "home page" Click "use current". This makes Google your homepage.

Then further down on the General tab, click "settings" under the tabs area, where it says "when a new tab is opened", click the drop down list and select "your first home page".

Click ok and then apply.

Hope that sorts it out for you.

thanks abbafan those are my settings anyway, still no change i think i'l make another page my home page etc.. see what happens




tried a change it only happens when i have google as my home page so it must be something in my google

I'm not really sure what you mean by "something in my Google".

So what do you want showing when you open a new tab?

You can change your home page from the house icon on the right hand side of the screen.

To be honest though I don't use IE as it's rubbish.

i'm not really sure what i meant (lol) i know how to change homepage etc.. i like to have google as my homepage and each tab i open as google is set as my home page it has the same pic on the tab as when you know when you have mse open and there little pic of martin lewis is in the in the address bar well thats what i have when i click new tab

hope that makes sense

To save me typing it all out, have a look at this page.

Apparently what you're referring to are called "favicons".
