Answer 1

Well what you need is a script, then this is what you need.

For First Part: https://superuser.com/a/963253/278336

del /f /s /q /a "C:\Windows\fonts\my-font.ttf"

For Second Part: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4882301/1444181

rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %SystemRoot%\system32\desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /file:"C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero.theme"

You need to know the theme location and the theme name for this command.

Create a batch file and run as Admin. I dont remember XP folder structure, but you might as you recently played with it.

Have fun!

BTW: if the guy restored to an older point, he may have restored the virus too. Just saying.
