I have no idea what this thread is about now that you've snipped previous
posts from your replies. Are you telling us that you do not have an
anti-virus application installed?

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These
include but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea
Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG
Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone
Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).
I don't use any of those. I can make changes elsewhere that stick.
It's just this one utility that is defaulted to off on boot. I can
re-enable it from the System tray or from the registry, but it's off
again next time. I found one other report of someone with the same
issue, and the answer was permissions. But if the permissions keep
getting reset each boot, I can't think of what else to do.
I'm sorry, maybe you don't understand how a delimiter works with a
faulty MS mail client. In YOUR post you replied ABOVE my quote.
Because you're using an MS mail client that IMPROPERLY inserts a
delimiter in your sig when top posting, my mail client (that properly
removes anything below the delimiter) caused everything below your reply
to be removed. And the REAL kicker is this; MS clients add a delimiter
incorrectly when top posting, but DON'T remove anything below the
delimiter when replying, like a proper newsreader does. Go figure.
It doesn't do any good asking users of these faulty MS mail clients to
either stop using a sig (which inserts the delimiter), or top posting,
OR use QUOTEFIX which fixes the bug. Because most people take it
personally and get upset, when really the issue is just the bug in OE/WM.
But to answer your question, no, I didn't state I don't have an AV
program. I said, "I don't use any of those (that you mentioned)." I
use AntiVir.
I can make other changes to the registry that stick. It's just this one
key that keeps getting reset, regardless of what I do.
Thanks,
