Default Resetting System Default Settings

I have already tried system restore, but that doesn't restore my settings
regarding: fonts, theme's, desktop preferences etc. What do I need to do to
restore all of these to what they were from the factory? My NB came with XP
Pro, I downloaded the SP2 upgrade when it became available last year from
Windows Update. Have I provided enough info in order to correct this issue.
Thanks in advance.
