Home page in new tab using IE7

On Windows Vista using IE7 if I press ctrl-T for a new tab I get
about:blank rather than
the home page in the new tab even though I set "Open home page for new
tabs
instead of a blank page" under
Tools | General | Internet Options | Tabs

If I click on the Home page icon the home page comes up in a new
window. If
I create a link in the Links Toolbar it does the same thing except it
also gives me
a message that its placing it in a new window since it has a different
security level.

How can I get my home page to appear in a new tab? I was able to do
that under XP
using IE7. I gather it thinks there is a security issue. How do I
circumvent this.

Have you adjusted the security zones at any point?

I had to turn off UAC temporarily when installing an XP program
that was written prior to XP and will not install properly with Vista
user accounts but I turned UAC back on after I was finished and
other than that have not touched security.

Well, usually when you first use a tab in IE7, the new tab opens with a
built in page that explains tab browsing with an option to take you to your
home page and never show that introduction page again [or something like
that]. I thought if you had turned off scripting or somesuch that might have
frigged a bit.

Anyway, have you tried the "Restore defaults" button? Then go from there?

I meant it was written prior to Vista.

Have you checked out the blank page?

It' a tutorial on using tabs - you have to choose 'don't show me this
again' - then it will open as web page

I think you are referring to about:tabs whereas I get about:blank .
I have read all the material on the about:tabs page though. As
I indicated in my first post I did choose that option but I still
don't get the home page in a separate tab. I was able to
configure this just the way I want under XP but not under
Vista even though I use IE7 in both.

I tried doing clicking Restore in the tabs Internet Option screen,
restarting IE7 and setting up the option to open the home
page in a tab all over again but its still giving me the same
behavior.

I don't think IE7 has a group - just IE6
