That's great! Thanks for the appreciation, Trevor. I've documented the whole summary here:

Ramesh,
You are a genius.
I changed the value of ClassicShell to zero, which was a bit tricky because 
I hadn't changed a binary key before.
Lo and behold, the Customize Tab came back. I have yet to try to use it 
again, but that is another story which I will handle myself.
Interestingly, I was not using the Classic Shell. (At least I don't think so 
- everything looks like XP to me!)
I have found this forum really good - you have stuck with me and come up 
with an answer. More power to you!
