Did you upload the includes/xml folder ? it contains a file called Cpnav_etab.xml
which is the one that adds the tabs to your adminCP.

I have a request if you dont mind.

Can you allow for the adding of a small 20x20 image to the left of the submenus?

[fayax]

This just might be the most popular tab soon. Voted for motm also.
