the General tab is Missing in the Internet Options box

[Ken]

The General Tab disappeared from the Internet Options box.
IE6, Win 98.

I (think I've) installed all the updates and patches,
etc., but it didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for any help!!!!

Very interesting. Running IE6/Win98.SE, noticed my Security and Advanced
tabs missing from Internet Options.

Am thinking of using mvps.org file: RepairTabs.reg to, hopefully, correct
the registry problem.

Any commnets on this idea?

Thanks for any help.

That should correct the symptoms, but not the cause. See
