How to Save your Open Windows (Browser Sessions) When Closing Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

One of the reasons I have liked Firefox for so long was the simple option it asks when you close the browser "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" which is great when you have 10 windows open for research.  Internet Explorer has not caught on to this simple feature for IE8 but they DO have an option that will permit users to restore the last browsing session (restore all the tabs you had open when you closed Internet Explorer) using the “Reopen Last Browsing Session” option from the TOOLS MENU.

After opening IE8, click on tools and select “Reopen Last Browsing Session”  from the drop down menu and this will restore your last browsing session and ALL of the windows/tabs you had open when you closed Internet Explorer 8

Another useful feature of IE8 is the Compatibility View located next to the REFRESH button which permits you to view 'older websites' (meaning built before 2010).  Microsoft has already release Internet Explorer 9 BETA so expect even more changes in a few months!
