Deleted items return after reboot

I am using XP and I have a one year old computer that is
pretty fast. Lots of RAM. When I delete items, like
shortcuts on the desktop or favorites in Internet
Explorer they return when I reboot the computer. I have
scanned for a virus using Norton and it finds no virus.
I changed the recycle bin so no deleted items go to the
recycle bin. Then I deleted items and rebooted the PC and
the desktop items came back.

Ideas?
 
Hi

have you tried logging out of your account. then from the
welcome/log in screen restarting the PC then. I have
found too that just selecting shutdown can stop XP saving
changes. its a pain in the ass and no one seemed to
answer my question about something similar.

try logging out, rebooting and see if it helps.
