Unbelievable!

Internet Explorer allows websites to run code and alter things like your
Internet Explorer settings, add items to your favorites, reset your default
home page, etc.

The tab that's now missing was the first one that came up under Tools |
Internet Options. It let you delete cookies, temp files, etc. How do I get
it back?

Thanks

Includes: Restore the missing Tabs in IE (usually parasite related)
Note: restoring the missing tab(s) without scanning for parasites
will not remove the culprit that now exists on your system.

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.
Download the script from:

Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg


Also, refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
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.
