Right, just got this laptop....

It's running XP Pro SP2. So I spent all afternoon yesterday setting it up the way I want it to be, applying view changes, adding programmes etc, just like on my desktop.

Then I turn it off, and when I turn it back on again it's lost everything! Reset itself to standard, and shows me as ADMINISTRATOR instead of MATT when it comes to Documents and the name on the start menu. All the changes I made are reset to standard, the language bar is open on the task bar again, etc etc - I even get the pop up in the sys tray for TAKE A TOUR OF WINDOWS XP

So I reinstalled XP last night and started again. Did it this morn, turned it off, booted up again and lo and behold it's reset again!!!

WTF?

It's also booting up to a logon screen for the user ADMINISTRATOR and asking for the password which it never did before! There is only one user on it, I didn't bother setting up any other user accounts so thats not the problem either, but it keeps on losing/forgetting the changes I made, then resets the user account!

Why?
