Applies ToInternet Explorer 9

Support for Internet Explorer ended on June 15, 2022

Internet Explorer 11 has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10. If any site you visit needs Internet Explorer 11, you can reload it with Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge. We recommend you use Microsoft Edge  for a faster, more secure and more modern web browsing experience.

Get started with Microsoft Edge

If many tabs are opened in the Internet Explorer, a balloon pops up when you close the window, asking that if you want to "Close all tabs" or "Close current tab". Some students check "Always close all tabs" carelessly. As a result, no prompt pops up when they close many tabs. What shall we do to recover the prompt?  

Things we can do: Press "Alt+T", and click "Internet Options".  

In "Tab" column, click "Settings" botton.  

Open "Tabbed Browsing Settings" window, and check "Warn me when closing multiple tabs".  

Finally, press "OK" to exit the settings window.  

That's it.
