Registry Not Saving at Exit

[JTM]

I have an application that writes data to the registry.
The problem one of the users is having is that the
registry doesn't seem to be saving on exit. The app runs
OK during the session, and writes to the correct registry
location, but once the user logs off and back on, the
registry entries are gone. Any reason why the registry
doesn't get saved on exiting??? User is an administrator
on a Windows 2000 Pro machine.

If they are also a member of the Guest group or if they have a mandatory
profile, they will experience this behavior.

Could also be a roaming profile issue.
