You can try these two solutions, not sure if it will work for you, the 2nd is for NT but might be the same on winx64.

Download TweakUI for 64bit then install it, there will be a tweakUI icon in the control pannel. Start it, then select Control Pannel, and then enable all the items that you want to see in the control pannel.

2nd posible solution

Try just reregistering the icons first (rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_FillCache_RunDLL).

Replacing Missing Control Panel Icons
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=173132

Expand the *.cpl file from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 CD. The following example demonstrates how to expand the file Access.cpl from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 CD into the C:\Winnt\System32 directory:
expand d:\i386\access.cp_ c:\winnt\system32\access.cpl

For additional information about how to manually open the Control Panel folders, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
180025 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180025/EN-US/) How to Open Control Panel Folders from the Command Prompt

Type the following line at a command prompt to reregister the icons:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_FillCache_RunDLL

It kind of look (a part from the DX) like user icons and that the admin stuff is hidden. So you may have changed some settings, as you also talk about registry changes.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
