Re: Display Properties Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Wayne,

All you have to do after you download the restorealldisplaytabs.reg file, is
double click restorealldisplaytabs.reg and answer YES to the import prompt.
This will merge the contents of restorealldisplaytabs.reg into the proper
place in your registry.

The part about opening the file in Notepad is just so a person can see
what's in the reg file. Folks like me are snoopy and want to know what's in
it and where in the registry this happens so we can learn more neat stuff.
If you're just trying to get your Display Properties tabs back, you do not
necessarily have to do that part. ;-)
