Here is my approach, I trust someone will find it helpful, using My.Settings:

Code for the exit button/routine:

    Private Sub PicClose_App_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PicClose_App.Click

    ' Save the current active tab index, this will be used on next startup to determine on which TabPage to start
    My.Settings.Main_Form_Startup_TabPage = MyTabControl.SelectedTab.TabIndex

    Application.Exit()
End Sub

Code called from the Load event of the main form:

    Public Sub Form_Startup_TabPage()
    ' Get tab index from settings, 0 has been set as default
    Dim IntStartup_TabPage As Integer = My.Settings.Main_Form_Startup_TabPage

    ' Select the last tab used
    FrmMain.TabChar_Group_Selection.SelectedIndex = IntStartup_TabPage

End Sub

You have two ways to do it

  1. SelectedTab:

    MyTabControl.SelectedTab = MyTabPage (The TabPage you want to select)

  2. SelectedIndex:

    MyTabControl.SelectedIndex = 1 (1 is the index of the second TabPage)
