The whole menu options under "Advanced" in IE is gone and I have NO IDEA
why.

I can't figure out how to reinstall it; I tried IE6 setup SP1 download
but all I got was it wasn't XP compatible...

Wondering what has caused all these? Though you should be able to fix the problem using a REG, I'd suggest a repair:

Try this, in same order:

1. regsvr32 /i inetcpl.cpl
Reboot and see if the issue is resolved, if not proceed to 2.

2. Try a repair/reinstall of IE:

IE 4, and 5 but may work for ver. 6.

Advanced Tab Check Boxes Missing in Internet Options
When you attempt to change a setting on the Advanced tab in the Internet
Options dialog box, the check boxes may be missing.

The Advanced Tab Is Blank in Internet Properties
When you click the Advanced tab in the Internet Properties dialog box, the
tab may be blank. The Settings heading may be displayed, but the rest of the
tab may be blank.

Hi Henri,

Looks that the Advanced tab issue is fixed. The Security tab sliders are not present it seems.

regsvr32 /i inetcpl.cpl

Wow! When did you find that?

Depends confirms inetcpl.cpl has DllInstall but no DllRegisterServer
so don't we need to use the /n switch too?

Have you checked if it affects any user customizations?
How it compares with Reset Web Settings... or fixie.inf?

I'm not going to try it until I get on my test partition
where I will trace both with RegMon.

rundll32 inetcpl.cpl,LaunchSecurityDialog

or even simpler, just doubleclick the Security zone icon

Robert,

You're perfectly right, as always. Once I tried this method (actually rundll32 inetcpl.cpl,DllInstall), but not regsvr32 /i inetcpl.cpl. and it brought all the missing options in the Advanced tab of IE. I assumed regsvr32 /i should work. But did not work and I had to add the /n param.

So, the questioner must try any of these commands:

rundll32 inetcpl.cpl,DllInstall

-or-

regsvr32 /n /i inetcpl.cpl

AND, explain the problem better. I'm unsure if the security tab sliders are missing or the options themselves?

Does not seem to affect the user customizations. Just places the default values w.r.t Advanced Options and other settings. And different from 'Reset Web Settings' functionality. Reset Web Settings basically fixes http handlers and Search. Inetcpl installation does not affect those settings.

Sounds to me that the sliders / button are missing in the Security tab. "security_options_edit" restrictions?

If the options under Security setting checkboxes are missing (in the custom dialog), inetcpl.cpl should fix it.
