If XP Pro, there are settings in Group Policy for Control Panel.
Have a look at all of them.
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |
Navigate to >>>
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\
Prohibit access to the Control Panel
[[Disables all Control Panel programs.]]
-----
Also check TweakUI if you have it.
TweakUI | Control Panel
Also scan for viruses and scumware.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
