Here is a message Ramesh responded with to my similar problem. 
Restore missing icons to the Windows Security Center: 
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/seccentericons.htm
It did restore the icons in the Security Center for me. However, it did make 
a few hundred registry changes and I have asked him exactly what the program 
does behind the scene. You can track that thread by searching for "Cayzee"
Hope this helps
