<div class="symptoms_section">

SYMPTOMS
In Control Panel, if you click Internet Options, one or more tabs may be missing in the Internet Properties dialog box.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the  registry key contains the following value:

&quot; Tab&quot;=dword:00000001

Note Name is the name of the affected tab. For example, if the Program tab is missing, the registry key contains the following value:

&quot;ProgramTab&quot;=dword:00000001

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this behavior, use Registry Editor to remove the  Tab value in the following registry key:

Note
 * You can change the DWORD value to 0 (zero).
 * You cannot resolve this behavior by replacing the Inetcpl.cpl file.

If other tabs in the Internet Properties dialog box are missing, remove the corresponding values from the registry key.
