File Types tab

Hi

I don't know how this happened but last time I wanted to edit a
file-association I went looking in the usual place (Folder Options) and the
File Types tab is no longer there.

Does anyone know how this could have happened (missing file, missing or
incorrect registry key, corruption in some .ini file, etc)?

I know I can get round it by editing the registry direct, but I really would
like to get the File Types tab back.

Thanks

Go to Start/Run, type this command:
regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll and hit enter. It takes a few
seconds to complete. Reboot and check for the tab (note: reboots required
after the next two also).

If no help, go to control panel, add-remove, highlight IE5.5/6 (whichever
you have), click remove, select the repair option.

If no good, try reinstalling IE5.5/6.

I tried that and it worked!

Thanks, Ron.
