XP can't make changes

My daughter got a used computer with XP operating system. When ever she makes changes (removes shortcuts from the desktop, etc) and reboots they come back. I went in under Administrator and the same thing happened. Any ideas?
 
If you didn't reinstall immediately after she got it, do it now.

If you have reinstalled, anything in event viewer?
 
i didn't install anything. One of her friends gave it to her when she got a new one. it works find, just won't keep any changes she makes. Another example. she added the newer window media player. It's intalled no problem. But when she rebooted it was gone and the old version back on.
 
Sounds like it has some sort of imaging software installed like it was a public workstation. I would honestly wipe it and start over.
 
i went and looked at system restore and it dont give a previous restore date... just today. I tried to disable restore, but when i reboot.. it's back again.

I know a clean start would be easier, but i don't run xp...only 2000 pro.. she's saying her mp3 won't work with anything but xp.. so... i'm spending my christmas day working on a old computer. :|
