Pretty sure there's all kinds of little apps for this, but ... tinkering is way more fun.
Anyway, you can use " powercfg /qh > t.txt" to list all hidden options and change the values from the CMD (since you now have the hidden GUIDs). But that's not just a little inconvenient, to be sure. Did some checking and it seems every hidden option has a specific dword value in the registry; " Attributes". Setting this to " 0" will make the option show up in 'Control Panel' > 'Power Option' > 'Change plan settings' > 'Change advanced settings'.
However, there's a lot of these (about 50). Secondly, also wanted this on a second system and the registry entries are dependent on a system's specific hardware configuration. Hence made this very quick & dirty spreadsheet;
powercfg - show all settings
It's editable and all, feel free to give it a try. Made for Windows 7, don't know about 8.x. Needs some modification if you download; Google f*'s up quotation marks when using regular paste (they vanish), the online version takes care of that. Mind you, very sloppy/inefficient formulas, so it's a bit slow. Just couldn't be bothered to spend more time on something I only need to use twice ...
