I have a strange problem with my WinXP SP1 installation, it was ok until
recently I have been noticing this annoying problem. I know the computer is
virus free (that is a fact), and my account is a Limited Account.
I have also installed FireFox web browser . Every time it starts up it
asks "FireFox is not the default browser. Would you like to make it the
default web browser?". I press OK. Logoff and Logon to the same account
again.
When I start FireFox it asks the same question again, the system no longer
remembers the default browser. In fact even when I click on a link it starts
up IE instead of FF which is supposed to be my default browser.
I have also noticed that certain programs (an editor) also is unable to
remember certain settings, even Visual Studio seems to forget things.
I know some months ago the magnificent Logitech Product Support (pun
INTENDED) asked me to give the limited account full rights on the
HKLC\Software\CurrentControlSet\Enum (well, something like that, it was the
current control Enum tree). I did. Well now I have tried removing those
rights, put them back on again (no longer remember if the limited account
should have rights on this) but makes no difference. Only like I said,
certain programs now suffer form amnesia!.
Is there perhaps some almighty registry key that could be the culprit of the
problem?
Thx,
