    Interesting utilty; didn't know it existed. It appeared to run OK, although
    it did report an "Error: 234" "enumerating info for
    machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\CriticalDeviceDatabase"; don't know
    if that represents a problem, since the KB article said to expect some
    (unspecified) error.

    However, I still have no security tabs, and now I'm wondering if I've made
    the system nicely vulnerable while I try to fix it.

    I tried the first time in my usual Admin account; then I tried logging into
    the built-in adminstrator account (which has been renamed for security). Got
    the same exact results -- and still no security tabs anywhere.
