I am missing the general tab when I open internet options.
I therefore can't delete history items, etc. I used to
have it . How do I get it back .Thanks

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.

Reset the Internet Explorer tabs and remove all the browser restrictions.

Also, refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site:

Restore All tabs in IE and Removes the ** Internet Options ** Restrictions as well


** The cause may be due to a spyware. Download Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the
above fix if necessary.
 
I have been stumped byt the same problem. MSFT
Knowledgebase Article - 272449 describes the fix. I tried
it and it worked.
Good luck.
