That is a list of things, and so likely not simply solvable.
First if the "multifunction machine" means an HP all-in-one
print/scan/fax etc. man I ask (?)
Is HP support still recommending that you go to the registry
and setting Everyone Full permissions on all of the
HKey Local Machine registry hive (!!)
If that is what they had you do then I would suggest doing
a refresh of the registy permissions to install defaults (which
will of course make their device again not work)
I am not sure where you believe that Owner Creator perrmission
grants are goofed up, the reg or the filesystem ?
Similarly I do not follow the C drive shared issue, as C is always
shared under the sharename C$, and this is normal (only an
admin can access it).
You have Pro edition, and so if needed you can use the info in
the following KB to reset the filesystem and the registry permissions
(at least to some extent) to the installation defaults.
Restore XP to installation Security Defaults
for Pro see: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313222
Pay attention to ability to restrict use of this to sections, like reg
This may break things done post-install, even by Gateway
