If you have accidentally closed a tab in Internet Explorer 7, you will have realised there is no way to get it back as with the Firefox or Opera browsers. However, there is a free add-on for Internet Explorer called IE7 Open Last Closed Tab that does just this.
Once installed, you can open closed tabs by pressing the Alt and X keys together. It also supports a Quick Tab Style View, shown when you hit “Alt-Q”, which gives you thumbnails of the previous tabs you’ve closed (like the built-in IE Quick Tabs, but for previously closed tabs). You can then click on the thumbnail of the page you want to open in a new tab.
