Vista Not Remembering My Settings

[Guest]

I am using Vista Ultimate x64. I'm noticing a non-critical, but very annoying
problem though. Vista seems to be forgetting settings I've made after I
restart/shutdown. For example, I tell the mozilla program Seamonkey not to
load at startup. I restart and it's there again. I tell it again not to start
up at start up....

if only Seamonkey was doing this, I would chalk it up to seamonkey being
bad. However the same thing happens with Quicktime (I tell it to get rid of
the system icon perm, but it keeps coming back), I tell vista to auto-hide
unused icons, but on restart it no longer auto hides them...

does anybody have a clue what's up?

You have to set it up in Vista. Vista ignores personal settings in other
programs. Thank you Bill, poor and starving children will be delighted

Your kidding. So Vista will force these programs to load into memory even
when I tell the program not to? I have to fiddle with the startup entries and
registry then for something that should be as simple as saying "Don't load at
startup"?

Just run msconfig -> startup and uncheck it there. Vista won't force
anything, it just ignores it I have a Logitech laser mouse which I have
set up running the Logitech software that came with it, and even though all
the settings in Vista are correct, i.e. it should run the software properly
at startup and override original Vista mouse setting, it don't Everytime
I start Windows, I have to go to Logitech mouse setup, click APPLY -> OK and
then it works
