Solve : Internet Explorer Reg Key?

1.	Solve : Internet Explorer Reg Key?
Answer» Hey Guys, I was looking through my registry and I was trying to find the string that enables certain tabs to show up. Such as under internet explorer, you can go to tools - internet options - and then you GET a whole bunch of tabs. I needed to know if you knew where in the registry keys for the tabs are. Thanks in advance! -BTYLet me say that playing in the registry has CAUSED heartache and reinstalls for many as the system can become totally unusable. If you are familiar with this and are willing to risk it, at least make a backup copy first. Dude trust me when it comes to this stuff I know what I'm doing. I know all about how if you mess with the registry you can crash your computer and everything. And a backup of the registry is the first thing I did. Lol Most of the time I just go in and poke around a bit. Never change anything becuase I know what it can do. But thanks for the warning. -BTYWhat tabs are you trying to make show up? Or are you trying to hide some? What are you actually trying to do?LOl .......Hi Rob ........... Quote Dude trust me when it comes to this stuff I know what I'm doing. He knows all about it .......... Odd , then why's he asking for assistance ......hummmmm dl65 And now he's gone AWOL. Hope he didn't crash his machine.Lol no I didn't crash my machine but I was a gone for a while. But what I meant by saying all about it is, that I know that I can f**k up my computer that way. But I'm smart enough to know how to not mess it up. Anyways I'm trying to make the connections tab show up. Which is under tools - internet options. So that is exactly what I am trying to do. -BTYWhy is the connections tab missing? If it has been disabled through group policies, you may not have sufficient privileges to reinstate it.The Internet Options screen that appears from IE's menu is the same thing as the Internet options screen that can be accessed from Control Panel, except that, when opened, it's labeled Internet Properties instead of Internet Options. I'm thinking that if you open the Internet Properties panel via Windows Control Panel, you will also not see the Connections tab there. Seems like this just further confirms what Rob said.Ok well the thing is I didn't tell you one thing. And after this your probably won't HELP me which is ok. See at school we have been using a proxy to get around our websense and the only thing that we can use the proxy for now is Firefox becuase they took away the connections tab under interet explorer. And I was watching one of the admins and saw that he had a reg key that reinstated the connections tab. -BTY Quote Ok well the thing is I didn't tell you one thing.
