Missing the "attributes" tab on user and computer objects in AD Users & Computers

If you're in Active Directory Users & Computers, you've enabled "Advanced Features" from the View menu and you're still unable to see the "Attributes" tab, here's the fix:

-Open ADSIedit and connect to the Configuration
-expand (click on the +) CN=configuration, DC=, DC=local
-expand CD=DisplaySpecifiers
-click on CN=your language.  The language # can be found on  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324097  (for example US English is 409, so CN=409)
-in the right hand window locate CN=User-Display right click on it and choose properties.
    -Locate AdminPropertyPages, highlight it and click “edit” and add the line 11,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773}
