I have a user who cannot get Tabbed browsing in IE7. The administrator account can on that PC so I am assuming that the tabs are something to do with the user rights.
PC runs XP Pro as a domain member PC on a Network running Win2k3.
I have tried all sorts of things - Re-installing IE7, running with no add-ons and all the suggestions in this site (http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2006/10/24/203178.aspx)
The only thing I have not done is blow away the user profile on the PC.

I was just wondering if any one knows what registry key to tweak for rights - if any, or what other suggestions to try?

Thanks True Blue. I shall try these out.

Adding to my First post, I deleted profiles of the user on the local PC and server. Made no difference to tabs - they did not appear.
I moved the user (temporarily) from a standard user to the admin group of users and tabbed browsing appeared. Good but not a solution giving everyone admin rights.

I gave the user full rights to the registry thinking it might be a key that needed full control. Nothing.

All group policies were disabled temporarily for users and my test user logged out and back in - no tabbed browsing so it is not a policy interfering.

My solution would be to go to Firefox but unfortunately the (Intranet) website uses forms built for IE only.

I'll try the reg keys given and see what that does.

Thanks again. I have not tried the last reg key uploads as I had to rebuild my test laptop.
I will keep these in mind for a full rebuild of the laptop with clean MS patches before I load other software.

Ctrl-click the back button to get in a new tab.
Ctrl + T key for a new tab.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

Thanks.
Problem was fixed by True Blue pointing me in the GPO direction.

Thanks True Blue. The GPO changes worked to enable tabbed browsing.

Funny thing is that this fix caused another problem. A vendor using a MAC attaching a .jpg file to e-mail will now arrive as an embedded graphic in the e-mail. Only happens with MACs and something to do with the rendering of HTML messages between the two differing e-mail systems.
Wierd......
Thanks any way.
