You may want to revisit your group policy regarding "Standard User Setup" and consider how it is applied with respect to your laptop. Group polices are applied in a specific order (LSD-O) local, site, domain and then organizational unit. If you are the I.T. department then you might want to exclude your machine(s) from this policy, either by moving it to an (or creating a seperate) OU that does not have this GP applied or in the case of a domain or site GP, consider addressing this by applying the GP more granularly by creating an OU where you really need this policy to apply and then moving the computers that you want it to apply to into that OU (then apply the GPO) to that OU, rather that blanketing all workstations.
