bootup problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

my computer exhibits very puzzling behaviour. during the boot up sequence all
proceeds well, then at the very end of the process, the screen changes its
wallpaper and themes from what i had set to the default screen. i have used
msconfig to clean boot and the change takes place after all .ini and startup
programs have loaded. what could be causing this to happen?
computer has windows xp (2002 edition) and sp2(up to date)
