IE8 Consolidate instances of explorer?

[Frank]

Ok...somehow I've got 7 instances of explorer running; each with multiple tabs.
I'd like to streamline, I'll close a bunch of tabs...that part's easy; but,
I'd like to keep some tabs open and consolidate them all into one instance of
Explorer.
can this be done?

Thanks!
Frank

Hi Frank,

Favorites>Add current tabs to Favorites

Save each windows tabs set to the same Favorites folder.

Unfortunately you cannot drag and drop tab leafs from IE window to IE
Window.

Sure, go to the instance you want to close and copy the contents of the
Address Line, then go to the instance you want to keep open and open a new
tab and paste the contents of the clipboard. Close the instance you don't
need anymore.

But you can copy the address of an open tab to the clipboard, then close the
instance of IE, go to the instance of IE you want to use and create a new
tab then paste the contents of the clipboard into the address bar.

You don't even have to go that far. Just drag from the Address bar to the
other window.
