When I open 2 tabs in Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7, they are visible as 2 IE windows when doing Alt+Tab.

I want it to behave more like Chrome or Firefox - when I open 2 tabs in Chrome I can only see one Chrome window when doing Alt+Tab.

How can I achieve this in IE8?

  • I am curious why not switch to IE 9, at least no such problem.

Get all the latest updates from Windows Update (aside from IE9). On a fresh Windows 7 / IE 8 system with all updates, Alt+Tab works as you want it to.

  • Unfortunately this is a company owned machine, I cannot run updates. It would be best if I could find a configuration option somewhere in the registry or something?

  • There's a way to re-enable the Windows XP-style switcher in the registry. Does this do the trick? superuser.com/a/78314/157255
