Re: Windows Vista Resets Personal Preferences

I ran a Chkdsk and checked running programs, but nothing was found to be
wrong.

Any ideas what Keys in the registry may be missing or corrupted which would
cause the problem?

This should indicate clearly that the computer is shutting down
badly/messily and thus unable to save your preferences on shutdown, as you
correctly guessed towards.

You might want to check what is running when you're shutting down - either
something is shutting down badly or you have a disk/registry corruption.
chkdsk might be good to run at this point.

Creating a new user account did not resolve the issue.

The new account did not save any preferences, it lost them just like the
original account.

I'm wondering if there is some repair to the registery keys that may solve
my problem, like something is missing that would have signaled Vista to
store
and keep my preferences.
