IE8 dead tabs

This is the second time I've had to resort to the registry to fix what i don't like in Windows 7. This time it's more of a true fix. This addresses 2 of my biggest nits with the new OS, now I can rest.

Problem: You open a new tab in IE8 and all you get is "Connecting..."

Setup: It's happening for me on: IE8 32 or 64 bit edition on 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise

Solution: Below from David at Microsoft

To disable this feature, go to Start, type “regedit” in the search box, right click the regedit program, and choose Run as Administrator. You may be prompted to continue. In the registry editor click the arrow to expand a selection. Expand, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, Microsoft, Internet Explorer, and select Main. Check for an option on the right list named “TabProcGrowth”, if it is there double click on the item and set it to either “0” or “1” (see below for details). If it is not there create it by right clicking on the Main folder (in the left list) and selecting New, DWORD (32-bit) Value. “New Value #” should be created on the right, double click on this and set to “0” or “1” as desired (see below). Then right click on it and choose Rename, rename this to “TabProcGrowth”. Restart Internet Explorer for this to take effect.

Setting this to “0” will cause Internet Explorer to crash entirely if a tab crashes.
Setting this to “1” will allow Internet Explorer tabs to crash and recover without completely closing Internet Explorer and might be the better choice.
