Forums on this site have been very helpful to me. As I said before I am new to computers but have gleaned massive amounts of info from these forums. Here goes another question. When I'm browsing websites and go to close one of them I get a "Do you want to close all tabs" message. If I do not pick this option I can"t get back to my homepage. I then have to start over from the desktop in order to get back to the homepage. Is there any way to just close the current webpage without starting over?

Usually hovering over the tab will show you an X on the right side of the tab - that can be used to close individual tabs. You can also right click on the tab and it'll give you the option of closing the tab.
