How do get to the "Settings" in Spybot?
According to their Help file, you have to start Spybot in "Advanced" mode
instead of "Basic" mode. How do you do this?

Start >> Programs >> Spybot - Search and Destroy >> Spybot - S&D
(advance mode)

Does it for me.

If you use a desktop icon, once Spybot is open go to -

Settings >> Settings >> Desktop Icon >> check Advance Mode

Hope this helps.
