75495 2002-09-01 07:31:00 In I.E I go to Tool-Internet Options and there is only the Privacy tab, none of the other are there? How do I get them back. (I am using XP Pro) JamesStewart (874)
75496 2002-09-01 08:24:00 Sorry, my English isn't good. I mean... The only tab in the options is the privacy tab. None of the others are there. How do I get them back? JamesStewart (874)

Just guessing....

75498 2002-09-01 08:59:00 Hi James thats strange. I havent got XP but as a last resort you could try reinstalling Internet Explorer - see this article on reinstalling IE6 under XP support.microsoft.com

I know XP has some sort of policy management - maybe it disables the settings unless you have the correct privalages. Anybody with XP out there know about the policy settings?

75499 2002-09-01 09:10:00 Umm, yes I am an Admin. and they where their before but my dad took them away and now he can't remeber how to get them back, :@ JamesStewart (874)
75500 2002-09-01 09:15:00 Ah Im learning more about XP all the time. Heres an article on setting file permissions www.microsoft.com Hope its the thing your after. parry (27)
75501 2002-09-01 09:23:00 that url didn't work! JamesStewart (874)
75502 2002-09-01 10:04:00 And it isn't what you said it was I am sure of that. File permissions has nothing to do with this. JamesStewart (874)
75503 2002-09-01 10:22:00 In Windows XP, the Internet Options tabs are controlled by a registry entry at the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel key. Each Value Name is a REG_DWORD data type. A data value of 1 causes the tab to be removed. A data value of 0, or a missing Value Name, causes the tab to be displayed.

The Value Names are:

AdvancedTab
ConnectionsTab
ContentTab
GeneralTab
PrivacyTab
ProgramsTab
SecurityTab

NOTE: If you remove all the tabs, the user will receive a Operation cancelled due to restrictions message when they press Internet Options.

You might want to copy/paste the following to a IEOptions.reg file. You can change the data value to 00000000 for the tabs you wish to display:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel]
"AdvancedTab"=dword:00000001
"SecurityTab"=dword:00000001
"ProgramsTab"=dword:00000001
"ContentTab"=dword:00000001
"PrivacyTab"=dword:00000001
"GeneralTab"=dword:00000001
"ConnectionsTab"=dword:00000001
