Why does WinXP keep turning off "File and Printer Sharing" after a reboot?

I go to work, plug into the ethernet wire there, shutdown, come home, reboot (then it automatically connects to my wireless router), but I always have to then go to newtork > wireless connection properties and recheck "File and Printer Sharing for MS networks". Why won't it stay checked?
