[quote="orchard"]Joseph,

The code controlling this is in admin/includes/boxes/configure.php.  The menu is pulled from a table called configuration_group.  Using phpMyAdmin in my store, I can see that Customer Details and GZip Compression are rows in the configuration_group table.  They must be missing from the table in one of your databases.[/quote]

You are absolutely RIGHT.
These menus were missing from my database and now it is getting more complicated as I explain below.

I've used program that came with the oSC2.2ms1 called "mysqldiff.pl (it is a perl script) in /extra/mysql_diff/ folder.  This program suppose to compare two databases and output the difference into a file, and it did. I made the changes, run the scrip again, the data structures were identical (as the output file was empty).

So why the program did not show me that these menus entries were missing from my database structure???!!!   
It seems to me this program is futile. 

Now I have added one of the menu to the configuration file called "Customer Details" but it is empty, I can not select options ON/OFF.  I am sure it is missing additional links somewhere.
Anybody can anybody point me in a wright directions where to make the links so these options will show up.  
Better idea would be to use some reliable programs that will show the difference between two databases, so I can be sure I didn't miss anything.
