Display Properties Dialog Box. And No kellys Korner tweak did not

[Guest]

when I right click on my desktop and select properties a box pops up. It used
to have tabs for like changing screen resolution, screen saver and the like.
Now when the box pops up those tabs are not there only the box is. Only thing
I can change is the theme. How do I get those tabs back.

I have tried the Kellys Korner #285 and still nothing. Its like the view for
it is set to block the tabs or something. Anyone have any more ideas. Maybe
Enviormental Variables. Is there something there that would take them away.
Im open to all suggestions.

Check these locations in the Registry,

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Delete "NoDispAppearancePage", "NoDispBackgroundPage", "NoDispSettingsPage",
and "NoDispScrSavPage" in the right-hand pane.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Delete "NoThemesTab" in the right hand pane.

All those registry values are included in Kelly's Korner reg file(set to 0
values). If that doesn't work then deleting
"NoDispAppearancePage", "NoDispBackgroundPage", "NoDispSettingsPage",
and "NoDispScrSavPage" shouldn't work.

Though I don't know for any kind of mistake in handling.

Her reg edits are for HKCU not HKLM, and yes those entries can be in HKLM.

None of the things you mentioned are there. Nor is there one in the reg key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
this key is there all the way until the explorer part. The explorer part is
not there. As I mentioned before all of the tabs used to be on the pop up
window that you got with display properties. Now I have noticed that If I go
to the control panel I can go into the display properties and change each on
of the things like, Resolution, screen saver so on, but one link at a time.
What I mean is if I click on change computers theme I can do that and that
only. If I click on screen saver I can change that and that only. Where
before the dialog box popped up with the tabs and all I had to do was click
the different tabs to get to change things.
