Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Despite its inelegant name, IE7 Open Last Closed Tab, works like a charm. Its name exactly describes this IE plug-in's functionality.
If you close a browser tab, then realize you need something more from that now-closed site, IE7 Open last Closed Tab comes to the rescue. You can now press Alt-X and instantly reopen the site in a new tab. The program responded quickly when tested and opened 15 closed tabs in a row during one test. We also liked the tools Quick Tab Style View. The view which is similar to IEs Quick Tabs, but instead of displaying thumbnails of IEs open tabs, this tools feature displays thumbnails of the tabs you've closed. Clicking a thumbnail reopened the closed site in a new tab.
This free plug-in is a handy addition to IEs tools. Anyone who works in multiple tabs will appreciate the ease it offers in reopening closed browser tabs.
Publisher's description
From MuvEnum :IE Open Last Closed Tab is an extension for Internet Explorer that makes "Alt+X" re-open the last closed tab (Web site). This is very useful when you accidentally close a Web site that you didn't mean to close. Instead of trying to find it in your browser history, you hit "Alt+X" and it automatically re-opens in a new tab.
It also supports a Quick Tab Style View, shown when you hit "Alt+Q", which shows you screenshots of the websites you've previously closed (like the built-in IE Quick Tabs (Ctrl+Q)). You can then click on the thumbnail of the Web site you want to open in a new tab. Version 4.1 removes the product bar.
What's new in this version:
Version 4.1 removes the product bar.

Version: IE Open Last Closed Tab 4.1
"Same as the "Undo Last Closed Tab" plug-in for Firefox."
Pros: Works as advertised.
Cons: None that I have seen.
Summary: Nothing really exciting. Just a simple, easy to use, utility that should have been a feature in IE 7 and 8 to begin with.

Version: IE Open Last Closed Tab 4.1
Pros: Easy to use, does what it promises
Cons: I have no need for .NET Framework on my computer, but this program required me to download and install that program in order to enable Open Last Closed Tab to work.

Version: IE Open Last Closed Tab 4.1
Pros: Can save a lot of frustration (& time). Easy to use.
Cons: None really. There are no toolbar commands so you have to remember the commands (although, there are only 2...)
Summary: Easy to install. Easy to use (just 2 commands - Alt+X to re-open the last closed tab; Alt+Q to see thumbnails of previously-closed tabs).
