do you have an administrative account or just a regular user that's not saving your preferences?

can you create a new user profile account and test with that?

It hasn't reverted since I created another user account and have to select on the Welcome screen ... I'm thinking this thing is going too fast sometimes and doesn't load my personal settings but now has no choice because I have to click on the name.

I wish I didnt have to do this though because I like to hit the power button grab a cup and have the pc ready for when I get there. Oh well it's only for another 2 months till Vista comes out and I just install it and hopefully I won't have to deal with it again lol

well you can change the settings for the logon not to use the welcome screen or whatever, go to control panel and open user accounts
