Since Windows 2000, it is possible to configure which settings must be displayed in the control panel. You can hide some items or on the other side, only display the ones you choose.
To configure this you will have to edit a GPO (or the Local group policy).
The settings to edit are depending of what you want to achieve:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Hide specified Control Panel Items
or
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Show only specified Control Panel Items
In Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must enter the values defined in the MSDN documentation instead of the different .cpl you want to display. You can find the different settings there : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144191(VS.85).aspx
If you want to restrict/show only the Display part in which you can set the resolution, display output, DPI, you’ll not find it in the previous link. The option is as simply as its name : Microsoft.Display.
You’ll now be able to restrict this view 
and have this kind of control panel
