Are you following the procedure shown here?
http://mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/welskip.php
On the 'Users' tab of User Accounts, how many users are listed? Did you leave the
password box blank, or did you use a password? If you used a password and did not
previously (or vice versa), you will be logging on as a different user, AFAIK, and
that will give you the different desktop.
The idea is, if you were not using a password, to enter a blank password in this
procedure also. Uncheck the box which states 'Users must enter a username...', then
choose the username from the list, that is your default user name.
