I am one of the many people, or maybe few, either way, I
no longer have the ability to delete my temporary
internet files nor my history, due to the fact that my
general tab is no longer there. I would appreciate it
greatly if you can help me.

Thanks a lot

Start-Run-Regedit

There could be more than one "GeneralTab" value.
Try these keys first and then search for GeneralTab (no space)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Control Panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Control Panel

Remove "GeneralTab" if present.

Mario,
In most cases an entry added to the Registry is generated by spyware that is
preventing you from making the desired change(s). You really need to check
your system with either Ad-Aware or SpyBot (see below), then finish up with
HijackThis!. Visiting the SpywareInfo forum to finish cleaning up your
system is highly recommended, as neither Ad-Aware or SpyBot can no longer
*completely* remove these pests.

__Recommended Minimal Security Settings__
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm#Setting

When your Security settings are "soft" these sites take advantage of this
and actually install software on your system without your knowledge or
consent. In other cases downloaded software comes bundled with other
"components" (spyware\adware) that you don't realize exists until you start
having problems or discover your browser has been hijacked.
