display settings

[Absolom1]

Hi, my problem is that I tried to change my desktop image, and I found
that all my tabs except theme tab had dissappeared in display setting
menu!!!
I have tried a lot of stuff that it´s posted here, like went to
HKRY_user/Soft.../policies and nothing was wrong there.
Somebody has any similar problem.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks TaurArian... but
I have tried KellysKorner solution also, and nothing happens.
But, if I change de theme, double-clicking an msstyles file, I see
windows properties for a momente, then I select Advanced Options, and
All the tabs appeared!!, When I Apply, or accept all the chamges, Tabs
dissappear again.
Any more Ideas?

Thanks in advance and sorry my poor english!!

I certainly read the post. Thanks for the feedback, Absolom1. FWIW, I've
automated the entire thing in my script available here.

Show all tabs in the Display properties dialog:
