How do I Stop XP Reset to Default

by aaron a baker . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

There is nothing more infuriating to me that when I get the system set up and operating just the way I want and it defaults to another setting.
I have setup the menus to work as I want,set the fonts, changed the colors to suite me and then all is well. For a few days.
Then out of the blue the darned thing resets itself to and almost default setting.
I say almost because “Most ” of my changes are still in evidence however the menus don’t operate the way I set hem up, the views are now changed back to list or whatever and so on.
I have gone through the entire system and even created three restore points so that it might refer to them for this default setup.
Can’t do it. No matter what, I get this thing will still change itself back to a so-called default setting thereby changing all my alterations and forcing me to do it all over again.
Is there any way I can prevent this from happening without stopping the Task Manager?
I would be grateful of some advice on this.
Anything might help.
Thanking you in advance
Regards
Aaron
