Click Start->Run and type 'gpedit.msc' (without quotes) then hit enter. Navigate to User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Control Panel->Display and in the right pane, look for a value named 'Hide desktop tab'. Dbl-click it to open its properties and click on the 'Disabled' radio button. Click OK to close the box and then exit.

You said "Desktop Setting" tab is missing. Is it "Desktop" tab or "Setting" tab? Anyway you can enable any disabled tab using registry as well. Pls go through steps given in following tutorial:
