Okay, I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I'm hoping someone can troubleshoot this for me. I feel like it's something really simple and obvious that I'm doing wrong.

I just flashed (well, re-flashed) Just2Clean over the weekend. I was bored and wanted a fresh install of the ROM that has treated me so well since I've had my Wing. No problems with the flash, everything runs fast and great. However, I was going through and reinstalling CABs and I can't get rid of the tabs I don't want in HTC Home.

I'm using HTC Home Plugin 0409 6-tab, which I've never gotten to work with HTC Home Customizer. I feel like in past installs I have added a String to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCHome or HTCHomePlug that was called TabSetting, and that the value was 1,3,4 (for the three tabs I want). However, no matter what values I put in for that String, all 6 tabs remain. What am I missing? I have tried unloading and reloading HTC Home in Settings/Today, renaming the String to Tabsettings, putting the String in HTCHome AND HTCHomePlug, nothing seems to get rid of the tabs I don't want. Should I try a different version of the HTC Home Plugin maybe? This is the only one I've ever had, and I got the tabs to go away in the past. It's just been so long since my last flash that I can't remember exactly what I did to get rid of them. I know it wasn't HHC though.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome]
"TabSetting"="1,2,3,4,6"
You're doing it right. Are you disabling HTCHome Prior to doing this? Are you softreseting it after or powercycling? (Pressing the power button and not the reset button to save the settings. Reseting doesn't save the settings.)

On a side note, I'm glad to see people still using my ROMs. ^_^

I just tried it both ways, softresetting and powercycling, with HTC Home disabled prior to making the change, and enabling it after the change. Each time I deleted the key and then added it again before each try. All 6 tabs are still there. Grr!

Thanks for your reply, and for your awesome ROMs!
