Hi Richard,
Restore Missing tabs. Download a fix from:
http://mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg
Also, refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site: [For Windows XP]
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Restore All tabs in IE and Removes the ** Internet Options ** Restrictions
as well
The problem may be due to:
1. A spyware. Download Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system
and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **
( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch. Also, Download:

2. You have enabled the following options in SpyBot:
"Lock IE start page against user changes"
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE"

Unfortunately, my computer was infected with this
yesterday. I have removed all traces of it using Norton
and Spybot, but still have a coople of problems:
In IE6,the general tab has gone from the tools/internet
options menu, thus I can't change the default homepage,
clear history, etc.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Richard
