I am trying to set my homepage to MSN, and it tells me to
go to internet options in the tools menu and click the
general tab. However I do not have a general tab when I go
there is there any other way to set my homepage to MSN. I
am also lacking the (use default) option.
 
Saved info; The cause may be due to a spywareStart-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.
