IE8: Reopen Closed Tabs
Contributed by Rob Rogers 
Tagged: Browsers You finally get to the webpage that you have been surfing for and now you have accidentally closed the tab. This can be a very frustrating situation. Luckily, Internet Explorer 8 is quite forgiving and allows you to easily reopen the closed tab, even if you have closed other tabs after it.
Using a Keyboard Shortcut:
By using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T, IE8 will open the last tab that was closed. Use the keyboard shortcut again, and it will open the tab that was closed before that, and so on. You can use this method to restore up to the last 10 tabs that have been closed during your browsing session.
Using the New Tab Page:
Go to the tab area and click the new tab button to open up a new tab.
Go to the Reopen closed tabs section. You will find a list of the last 10 tabs that have recently been closed during your browser session.

I’m also trying to find a way to disable this “feature”. I thought browsing “InPrivate” should turn off everything but not this annoying feature. Anyone have a solution to turn this off, I’d appreciated.

Go to internet options – general tab. Go to Tabs. Tabs settings. Select “when a new tab is opened, open”, and select a blank page. TADA

That doesn’t turn it off. That just doesn’t show it. How do I stop it from tracking me?

That’s the only way, it still lets you open a new tab but just doesnt show all the websites you’d rather people not see you’ve been viewing haha

Even if you have “open a blank page” selected, it still tracks which pages were last open in closed tabs. All that you need to do while on the “blank page” is type “about:tabs” in the address bar in order to see the pages that were viewed.

Ctrl+Shift+T – Reopening the Closed Tab was really useful for me. Thanks.
