Sounds like you've pretty much tried everything I would
have tried. It could be that someone already 'owns' your
computer and has set the system policies to try to prevent
you from detecting and removing their access.
Do you have antivirus software currently installed? Is
it updated? If not, install some, or update the one you
have now, and run a full scan of your computer. You
might be wise to also run a scan with software specifically
designed to detect trojans. Try The Cleaner from MooSoft
at www.moosoft.com
As for undoing whatever policies may be in place on your
computer, perhaps consult with a group with people more
adept at general policy tweaking. Try the following
group:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy
If you copy and paste that into the address bar of your
browser, it should open up outlook express to the correct
group.
Good luck!
