No luck. Have tried a few other reg fixes, but so far, nada.

I did find that the jpegs for wallpaper (c:\windows\web\wallpaper) were gone, so 
I copied them from another machine, and if nothing else, can right click and make 
the pics a background. 

Any other suggestions are appreciated as far as getting the tab back, but at least 
in a (very clunky) way, I'm back to where I was.
