spywad

[CindyLouWhooo]

thanks for being here. I am beaten down and near brainless.

About four months ago, my desktop tab disappeared.
I have been going from forum to forum trying to find the answer in
registry settings.

Weekly in safe mode I run:
my antivirus Avira
have added AVG

Spybot
Bughunter
Smitfraud fix
Arovax
Lavasoft Adaware

and two online trojan-antivir-keylogger,etc.scans.

Arovax tells me spywad each week and points to user and machine:
Software-Microsoft-Windows-Curr.Version-Policies........I have done a
complete restore of said machine, without change. I have been to
KellysKorner, and a multitude of honorable forums trying to find the
answer.

My house burned down and my church gave me this machine. I feel the
hurdles I have jumped in fine tuning have been great, except for this.

Can you point me in the direction of what settings I need to change in
user and machine policies to make my desktop tab come back? This has
been my life's quest the past few months, and boy am I really
tired.....

Sure but answer a few questions first. What desktop tab, where is it missing
from? What operating system are you using?

Are you talking about the desktop tab in the task bar, near the clock?

Just right click on the task bar in a clear area, then select TOOLBARS,
then select DESKTOP.

Restore missing tabs to the Display properties dialog:

Hi There. I'm late in this. You said your desktop tab was missing right?
Lets see what could be doing that... It's likely a policy key

This *should* fix your issue for you. copy/paste the contents to notepad
and save it as "fixme.reg" then double click, regedit will ask if its
okay to import, say yes. and post back your results.

Ouch. Okay, so is it the desktop tab missing when you right click and hit
properties, or are we going in the wrong direction?
