Windows 8.1

Going to hijack this thread as my query doesn't warrant a thread. My laptop runs windows 7. Never given any trouble, but lately when I click on the Google Chrome icon I get two tabs opening, both showing the same homepage. Must be a simple task to reset but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sounds like your Chrome settings now say reopen with two Homepage tabs . You should be able to change that to a single tab in Settings (click on the sprocket thing). Or set to default

Is this a real problem though? In Firefox I normally have 15 tabs or more, all of which reopen when FF is restarted.

Damn hijackers, it's not even related to Win8! It's actually not even related to Win7, as it's the browser.

As teh cute puppy has intimated, browsers can open multiple windows when you start it, and this can be setup by you. For Chrome, click the 3 horizontal lines in the top right, then Settings. Second category "On start-up", you likely have the 3rd option ticked "Open a specific page or set of pages. Set pages"

Click the set pages, and there you can add one. To review the existing, click on Use current pages and when you mouse over each line there is an X on the right hand side.

Alternatively, in the On start-up section, just click the first option "Open the New Tab page" if you only want to open the one tab.

Yeesh, leave FF open with that many too long and you'll be over 1GB in memory... damn usage hog.

You can also scroll wheel click on a folder in the bookmarks toolbar to open the entire folder of tabs, or just right click and select the option.

Went into settings as Gremlin advised and cured the problem.

Now back to whatever it was that this thread is about

Is Windows a Virus?
---------------------------

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:

1.They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.

2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as
they do so - okay, Windows does that.

3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay,
Windows does that too.

4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with
valuable programs and systems. - Sigh.. Windows does that, too.

5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too
slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. - Yup, Windows does
that, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental
differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running
on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and
they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

So Windows is not a virus.

It's a bug.
