Check these locations in the Registry,

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Delete "NoDispAppearancePage", "NoDispBackgroundPage", "NoDispSettingsPage",
and "NoDispScrSavPage" in the right-hand pane.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Delete "NoThemesTab" in the right hand pane.

Hi mstout

Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and download the fix
on line 285 on the right -- Restore all Display Tabs.

Instructions for using the .reg file are at the top of the page.

Hope this helps.
