Folders placed on desktop disappear on reboot

Asked by dparrot in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: desktop, disappear

I like to maintain certain folders (like "My Computer" and my working documents folder) on my desktop on a permanent basis.  That used to be the case.  But recently, I began to lose these folders on re-boot.  They can restored with a few clicks.  But it is annoying.  I can't find any folder settings that affect this behavior.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  Could it be related to the code in desktop.ini?  Are there conflicts caused by one of my startup programs?

I am running a Thnikpad R-30 with a 697Mhz processor and 1 Gig ram.  The OS is W2K, 5.0.2195, SP3, Build 2195.

Here is a list of the programs that load at startup:
