The string to edit is here in regedit:

and the key is edit is “tabs“.

But… how to change Regedit string in Windows Phone 7 ???
First of all, read this post (how to enable MGF menu).

Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Next one write “tabs” – STRING
On the last one, in “Input Data“, type your home page like “http://www.albertopasca.it”

Default tabs value is “res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm”.

This settings was applied successfully on LG OPTIMUS 7, my phone.
