Show me the World, Windows!

I've encountered some Windows nuances which attributed to some registry
corruption error. For some reason, I couldn't view the tabs of my
Display Properties and the Network Properties.

Thanks to google for being so helpful as always! :)

In the first error, I've found this link as the solution, and it worked!

The next day, I've noticed that I can't connect from the remote machine to access
my shared folder in WinXP machine. When I was about to check the network setting, the
tabs in the Network properties are gone too! Thanks to this link for the solution:

I used to take note troubleshooting experience because it can be handy
in the future when needed. So this not some-sort-of
superb-troubleshooting-technique-or-whatever. I just post it as a
post-it! :)
