In the above window, you have to select the option Start with the tabs from last session under Startup. After making this setting live, whenever you open Internet Explorer, it will start from last session tabs, or simply it will restore the tabs.
If Internet Explorer on your system is not able to restore those tabs after making this setting, than you can fix it using following steps:
