Hi

Most likely the work a worm or similar (it could be from some spyware or
parasite as well).

Copy and paste the URL address lines into your IE address bar:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

and import the registry files under the following lines:

225. Restore Folder Options/Internet Options
268. Restore All Tabs under Internet Options


More about this registry values here:

To try to find what has caused this:

Run a cleanup tool, e.g. Stinger.exe from McAfee, it removes 30+
virus/worms in one sweep.

McAfee AVERT Stinger

For the Spyware and Parasites part, you will need to run other tools:
