No desktop tab

[Professor Joe]

SingaporeWebDesign explained on 5/2/2007 :

Hello,

Might still want to try running those malware scans that I mentioned.

Also try http://www.theeldergeek.com/desktop_tab_missing_from_display.htm and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922370/

If it doesn't work out, instead of spending so much time on this, why don't
you do a fresh clean installation?

back again....

gpedit.msc - did that to this xphome machine (from xppro files),
reboot, and has main titles,frames, no information within to change or
look at.

======================================================================
From MS bulletin:

This problem occurs if the following two conditions are true: • The
Turn on Classic shell Group Policy setting is configured.
• The value of the ClassicShell entry in the following registry subkey
is not 0:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer


******Important part here: no entry for Classic Shell under
Explorer....
should I add it? dword? __________________

Singapore, I cannot thank you enough for being in this with us for the
long haul.
Much thanks to you

Maybe have to gut it out and do a reinstall.
Could possibly be a good opportunity to make a pro out of it.
