Lately I am unable make custom settings permanent.
For example:
I recently updated my Frontpage to 2003, and it placed a "Language bar" In
the Taskbar. I can turn it off, but when I restart it comes back.

In FP 2003 I have made custom Toolbar options and every time I reboot they
are no longer there.

In Media Player 10 I am unable to retain settings, for Example I will ad the
play count Column, but every time I reboot, it is no longer there

I see a pattern, What could it be? Any ideas?

John

After setting up your toolbars, go to
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 54,(Save Settings on Exit)

Save the .REG File to a hard disk.
Double click the .REG File; answer yes to the "Registry Editor" prompt.
(To view a REG file in Notepad, right click on the file, then select Edit.)

Then logoff, logon.
