Hi Anthony

At that point in time, explorer and internet explorer are not running. My
suggestion would be to troubleshoot this via a process of elimination.
Start by moving the computer object to a new OU with no group policy linked
to it and block policy inheritance. Reboot a couple of times and see what
happens. If the issue is still present, it probably isn't policy (unless
you have a GPO at the domain level set with no override).

At this point, I'd rebuild one client off standard installation media and
see whether it experiences the issue. If not, start installing components
that are included in your standard setup and see if you can locate the
issue. Given that this is across more than one operating system, look for
common components or changes in your configuration.

You might use gpresult /z (Windows XP) or gpresult /v (Windows 2000) to look
for the specific policy setting if you determine that the issue is policy
based.

Kind regards
