Summary: Sometimes critical parts of applications like Internet Explorer go missing. It's often the result of spyware. I lost the general tab in my internet options, how do I get it back? That's most likely a spyware thing, run a spyware removal tool such as Spybot or any of the other recommendations I have. • Article 204 | Posted May 22, 2004 |

Posted by: Leo at September 27, 2004 7:29 PMPROBLEM: Internet Options under Tools on Internet Explorer is changed and the General Tab is no longer present. To repair this issue you must fix a data value in the registry. To do this do the following.
CLICK START BUTTON > CLICK ON RUN & type in regedit > this will take you to your registry, where you have to go to repair the issue.
Once there, on the left side there go to the following...
Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then click on Software
then click on Policies
then click on Microsoft
Then click on Internet Explorer
and then click Control Panel.
On the right side there is data GeneralTab.

Right click entry GeneralTab and click modify.

Posted by: Tony at June 1, 2007 8:13 AMI used your suggestion for the above problem. No results. Same as before. And yes I did have a virus, but it was removed. Where do I go from here. If you can help I would appreciate, also I am not an experienced PC user.
Posted by: Audrey Keats at July 16, 2007 8:07 AMI have the exact same problem, but with a twist. I had installed Trailfire nt long ago. Everything was running fine, now I can't access Internet Options at all nor remove this Trailfire toolbar from my add/remove programs or otherwise. It tells me it doesn't exist, but yet when I opne IE it is there. Makes no sense how it can say this to me. I have tried going into local c ans deleting the entire file, but it won't do this either. I'm stuck! and now can't get into Tool> Ineternet Options. I tried the suggestion above, and could nto find Interent Explorer in the list to look at. what may be causing this?
Posted by: Hard at July 27, 2007 1:12 PMwhat is the (general tab). I followed the order I read up the page and control panel on mine is not under internet explorer. then i did fine on the data general tab it says (default REG_sz (value not set) what does that mean. Thanks!
