"Then, I created an entry for 'Advanced Tab' as follows:
Edit - Create New - DWORD Value
Change the new entry's name to 'Advanced Tab'. "


Anyone care to tell me why this worked for me and the other stuff did not?

The existing Registry entries are "AdvancedTab" and "SecurityTab" (notice there is NO SPACE in front of the word "Tab")

It appears that for IE6 the name of the keys were changed to "Advanced Tab" and "Security Tab" (Notice the space IS in front of the "Tab").

All you need to do is RENAME the existing entries to have a space in front of the "Tab".

So run regedit, and go to key:
HKCU \Software \Policies \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Control Panel

and RENAME key "AdvancedTab" to "Advanced Tab"
RENAME key "SecurityTab" to "Security Tab"

And the Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced (Security) tab will appear
