I prefer the Windows Classic settings for Windows and Buttons set by
R-Clicking the Desktop and selecting Properties and Appearance.

Suddenly, whenever I reboot, the settings revert to XP, and I have to
manually reset them. More annoying than a real problem I know, but I'd
still like to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Try one of Kelly's fixes:

Line 30. Windows XP Doesn't Save User Settings

Line 187. Restore Themes Functionality
Restore Luna Theme - Restore Classic Theme

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the changes from "sticking." These include
anti-spyware applications (e.g., Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, WinPatrol, etc),
anti-virus applications & security suites (Norton, McAfee, ESET/NOD32,
Kasperky, Trend Micro, etc.), and third-party firewalls (e.g., Zone Alarm,
etc.).

Note that temporarily disabling the application(s) or rebooting into Safe
Mode may not disable the application's system protections.
