Here's how this one finally played out. I decided, just for G&S, to create
a totally new username. What do ya know? The new username showed the tabs
just as they should have from the start! Not only that, the old username
had an issue where it wouldn't apply the same settings to all files no
matter what I did... including some registry work where I changed a value to
a much higher number of pages. But I digress.

Obviously the original username had some issues. All subsequent usernames
didn't. So I copied, imported, etc. everything I could think of to the new
username, I've still got to port over the old message rules but I think
I've got most of it done now. I'm going to make the old username invisible
for now so I can still get to it if I forgot something.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for everybody's
help.
