XP Pro is not saving lone of my desktop settings. When I restart or start
after shutting down, the Windows Classic Style is reverting back to Windows
XP style under the Appearance tab/windows and buttons option. Everything else
seems to be okay, just that one option is not being saved. I have been
resetting it every time I log in. I checked the registry to see if the save
desktop settings were turned off, but the string from a earlier post is not
in my registry;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000001 or NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
My registry does not have the CurentVersion link. I see the ntuser log
increase in size after I change the setting in properties, but I don't think
it is saveing the log on shutdown. Anyone have any ideas?
 
R.click the desktop,properties,desktop,customize,web,chk the box "lock desktop
items" close out.....
 
Tried that, but still reverted back to Windows XP Style, thanks for the
attempt though.
