I am using Windows XP Home Edition. Recently, I do not seem to be able to
save my settings anymore. I have noticed that in several areas:
- Folder view settings: I can't apply permanent view settings to folders
anymore, the view changes back to the (wrong) default for whatever it had
been before. I can't specifiy the folder type anymore
(music/pictures/documents...) and can't choose a picture to display on the
thumbnail version either.
- Favourites: In my favourites menu, I can't sort the favourite by names
anymore, parts of them get collapsed, and if I drag and drop a folder to
another location, this step has been reverted when I check back.
- Desktop icons: I can't rearrange my desktop icons anymore, it always goes
back to the previous view as well.
- Internet security settings: If I select "permanently allow pop-ups from
this site", it will prompt me again the next time I try to open a pop-up (it
took me a while to get this question window to open).
I have noticed an error message, something like: "Failing to store in
registry", which came up a few times when I was downloading and saving
documents or pictures to my hard drive or external hard drive.
Somehow none of my settings are stored. How can I fix this?
Help is much appreciated.
