Windows Vista Resets Personal Preferences

2nd try

Every time my computer restarts/reboots Vista loses my preferences like for
having a Classic Start Menu, programs I've marked as safe, etc.

I'm running SP1 with all current updates and am sole user of this machine.

Need help diagnosing and resolving this problem.

Re: Windows Vista Resets Personal Preferences

You will probably have to create a new user and copy the old settings to it.
I have a link for XP that is basically the same process.
