    A computer one of our forum members owns, has too many 'tabs'.
    Alongside the browser tab, runs a number of others all 'loading' at the same time, they are 'AsK', 'Amazon', and others. How can she get rid of them please,?

    You didn't mention which browser - but check the HOME PAGE section and remove the unwanted ones.

    Tools > Options > General Tab > set only one page as Homepage.
    Add-Remove Programs: Ask stuff.
    View Menu > Toolbars > uncheck Ask & Amazon.

    You will need to be specific with the "Browser" being used as the areas to make alterations is different in Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer 7/8/9 or10. Neil.
