Have you tried something as simple as a system reboot? How about a system restore? (I think that XP has that).

What files/folders did you clean up, and how did you do that?

And are you logged in to windows as your usual log in?

Cheers

Not all that familar with Xp, however guys do ya get to choose a date like in Win98?

If so, then if it messed up "Last Night" a restore should have preceeded this problem.
