IPv6 Registry Setting

[JPO]

A while back I disabled IPv6 in Vista by editing the registry entry
tcpip6/parameters/disabledcomponents(default is 0, enabled). Now I want to
enable it again and I am having a problem,it seems every time I enable it and
reboot, it disables it again(it keeps setting it back to ff), I'm sure its
something simple,what am I missing here. I am doing this under the built in
Administrator account.

It should be safer to turn it on/off in the properties for your network
connection(s).
