Re: Remote tab missing from xp pro computer properties

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

wmimgmt.msc should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32 or %windir%\system32

wmimgmt.msc is on your XP CD listed as WMIMGMT.MS_ in D:\I386, if D is your
CD drive. The underscore (_) means that the file is compressed. To expand
it to the proper location...

Insert your XP CD into your CD drive and enter (Copy and Paste) the
following command into the Start | run box:

EXPAND -R D:\I386\WMIMGMT.MS_ C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmimgmt.msc

Hit your ENTER key or click OK.

NOTE :
You have to change these if yours are different...
Change D to = your CD drive letter
Change C to = your hard drive letter
