Why aren't settings permanent?

When I make and apply certain settings to XP Home, I assume they will be
permanent until changed again. For some reason, this isn't happening in my
system. For example, I have customized the Start menu to show recently
opened documents, and this works during that session. However, if I reboot,
this setting is no longer there and has to be reset. Is there a basic
setting or registry key I should check to correct this?

Have you looked in your event logs to see if there are any error
messages about registries failing to save?
