Here's how to fix it. Click on Start, and then click on run. Type 'regedit' and click ok. In the menu, click on "Edit" and then "Find". In the box, type 'DesktopCleanup'. In 'NoDesktopCleanupWizard' change the value to '0'. That's it!

It's been a while, so I hope the op has email notifications turned on.

Maybe Windows XP has been revised, but my updated copy has a clearly visible "Display Properties>Desktop>Customize Desktop" section (at the bottom) labelled "Desktop Cleanup". It includes a checkbox "Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days". The checkbox responds to the mouse and keyboard (as expected!).

The real fun comes in with registry key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz". There are 2 DWord values: "NoRun" (appropriate values: 0 and 1) and "Days between clean up".
