I know there are programs/addons so you can add tabs to IE6; Names?
Chris
The Windows Live Toolbar offers tabs - http://toolbar.live.com/.

Ah. Use firefox or get XP? tongue.gif

IE6 is kind of really dated and has its issues.

WTF?
This pops up when I hit open.

Just had a look at the system requirements page, seems it only works with xp and later, sorry.

You could use a 3rd party browser that uses the Internet Explorer engine, such as Avant Browser or Maxathon (just Google them and you'll find the appropriate download links & information pages).

There has to be some alternative that adds tabs to Windows 2000's IE6....
Obviously updating to XP is not a option....unless you can buy me a license.

After a bit of searching, it seems the Yahoo! toolbar offers some type of tabs for ie6 - http://toolbar.yahoo.com/ie.

Totally recommend Maxthon for your use. It's a great browser, and sticks with the IE core quite well. thumbs_up.gif

It can be a pain in the arse, but it does work.

Yes. Agreed. Maxthon is better than IE; however, like IE, it still displays webpages (such as my MySpace) painfully wrongly. So if you want to use a tabbed browser which does not display a lot of webpages right, just like IE, then use Maxthon, I'd say.

However, if you want a tabbed browser which works perfectly and displays webpages according to web standards, then why not use Firefox?? (or does that not work on Windows 2000?)

Strange, I've never had things that display wrongly.
Maybe you'd like to test things yourself before jumping on the anti-IE bandwagon?

The only thing I cannot use in Maxthon is my bank website. Apart from that everything displays very well.
