I too have build hundreds of WinXP systems without this issue. I have also
seen many with this issue. The problem doesn't usually occur because the
users 'mess around in the registry'. It usually occurs after a period of
time -- 6-12 months or so combined with periodically installing and
uninstalling 3rd party software. Third party software is frequently riddled
with install/uninstall errors, especially with the registry.
