My personal settings are not being restored at startup or restart. I have
made no changes to settings in several weeks...this appears to have started
for no apparent reason.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It might be helpful for me to mention that, upon startup, my desktop and
settings are that of a new XP installation...even asks if I want a tour of
XP, every time.

Thanks anyhow...looks like this might require a repair install of XP.

ALL personal settings...wallpaper, folder options, desktop icons, quickstart
options, network connections...are reverted back to initial install defaults.

My user name and password are preserved, however.
