I tested this in IE 4 to 6 and workded for all of them. First, set your security level to how you want it, then close IE, and go to this key in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel If the Internet Explorer and Control Panel keys don't exist, then create them. Right click the Microsoft key and create a new key named Internet Explorer, then right click Internet Explorer and create a new key named Control Panel. Then, in the right hand pane for Control Panel, right click an empty area and choose NewDword Value. ***Name it SecurtiyTab. Now double click it and enter a value of 1. Exit the registry Reopen IE, and click ToolsInternet Options The Security tab should now be gone. sorry for the mixup.

The site itself introduces the incidences with this: "The following is a large collection of stories and anecdotes about clueless computer users. It's a baffling phenomenon that in today's society an individual, who might in other circumstances be considered smart and wise, can sit down in front of a computer screen and instantly lose every last shred of common sense he ever possessed. Complicate this phenomenon with a case of "computerphobia," and you end up with tech support personnel having phone conversations that are funny in retrospect but seem like perfectly valid motives for wild machine gun shooting sprees at the time." ++ ____________________________________________________________ MICROSOFT RELEASES WINDOWS XP SP1 BETA by Paul Thurrott, thurrott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Microsoft released its first external beta for Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), the XP update that will add new features, support for new technology, and a bevy of bug fixes. Most notably, XP SP1 includes security fixes and a set of changes to the Windows UI. "Today, Microsoft released the first beta of Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional," Microsoft announced yesterday. " As you know, SP1 is in most ways a traditional service pack and will include security fixes, application compatibility updates, and updated drivers since the October launch. Of note, included in the security updates will be fixes developed during the security push done by the entire Windows division as part of Microsoft's renewed emphasis on security for customers. In addition to these traditional elements, Microsoft is fulfilling its commitment to implement the changes required by the consent decree signed with the Department of Justice and nine settling states." More than 10,000 beta testers will test XP SP1, MS says. For more information about the update, see my XP SP1 preview on the SuperSite for Windows. http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsxp_sp1_preview.asp ++ From; WinInfo Daily UPDATE http://www.winnetmag.net ____________________________________________________________ OE-QuoteFix ~ free http://jump.to/oe-quotefix OE-QuoteFix will extend the functionality of MS Outlook Express in numerous ways!
