Charles,

Can you send me the REG export of:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Advanced Options]

And a screenshot of the Advanced tab, by email?

Thanks for your help and patience , I hope yopu don't give up on me before
we solve this.
Windows is installed on C:       The entire Windows installation was done
using default locations and settings.
I ran the command in the Run box as you suggested , sorry no change.
I ran the registry repair for "Advanced " tab is blank.  no change.
The Microsoft Knowledge base suggestion to reinstall IE , is a little harsh
and I would like to avoid it if possible.
In the registry under "Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\internet
Explorer\Advanced Options\Crypto\Cache_Flush\"  there are several values
that can be changed , but I'm uncertain which if any of these will cure my
problem.
Thanks again
Chas

The article still applies in your case. OK. Which drive you've installed XP?
The REG applies if you have Windows installed into C:\Windows. For any other
paths, open the REG file and change
C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\
to
the correct path
-or-
This command should help, anyways:
type this command exactly in the RUN box:
regsvr32 /n /i inetcpl.cpl

Thanks for your reply.
My Advanced Tab is not blank , only the delete temporary internet files on
browser shutdown is missing , everything else is still there.          I did
do the registry restore for the blank Advanced tab anyway but it did not
restore the missing option.   I also tried the option to restore default
settings.        I have set my cache to a lower setting and can manually
empty the cache with no problems , it's just much easier to have it done
automatically.
I have the computer set to do automatic updates and have all the available
critical updates.    I have XP's firewall enabled , I use AVG antivrus and
have it set to update weekly , which it does .  I have AdAware Pro and
Spybot and run them weekly.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Chas

Tried this one a few days ago with no resolution , so I'll try to keep the
thread alive.
I have lost the option to empty the temporary internet files on browser
shutdown.   I know where it's supposed to be in Internet Options\Advanced
Tab\Security Options , but it is no longer there.  It used to be and I don't
know when or why it is gone .    I've always used this option and only found
it was missing when I started gradually  losing disk space .
My AV program recently found the SecThought  Trojan on my computer , but it
promptly put it in quaratine so I doubt that that had anything to do with
this lost option.     I suspect this is a simple registry change , but have
no idea what to check or change in the registry.
Thanx in advance
Chas
