  My first guess is that you are running screen peace and have the 
random wallpaper area checked.  This will cause random wallpaper to be
displayed each time you restart windows, and it changes your win.ini
setting to do this.

  Otherwise, look for some other utility that you run that may do this,
there are a few.  Usually they're screen blankers.  I seriously doubt
that it's Windows doing this.  But then again I've seen Windows do a few
very odd things! ;>   Good Luck!
