My other computer (Windows XP) has a problem with it's hard drive. No matter what i do to files (download, delete, move), it seems to go back to where it was.

- Group policy GPEDIT.MSC
- Local policies
- Mandatory profiles
- Windows file protection

Although this sould not affect data files other than default save locations.
