How do you make new tabs in IE7 actually open up to homepage?

[bovinda]

Whenever I click "New Tab" in IE7, it opens up to a page that helpfully informs me "You've opened a new tab." How do I get it to actually open to my homepage? I've checked that box under IE7's options, but it still opens to the blank tab page.

Thanks!

Tools -> Internet Options -> General tab -> Tabs -> Settings button
There is a check-box there to set it to open your home page.

Sorry, that's what I meant when I said I've already checked the box. That is checked, but it still opens to a blank page. What gives?

See link: http://www.ie-vista.com/tabs_groups.html

Be sure the box marked: "Only open the first home page when IE starts"
is Not Checked

Oooohhh...I had everything correctly set, I just had to select "Do not show this page again." Problem solved.

Thanks, guys for the feedback.
