Are you doing this on XP?

I set it at the time I wrote this post originally.  I will look again.  There is one thing though that has been happening that may explain it.  I have not shut down these machines gracefully for quite some time.  But they have shut down at least 5 times this summer due to Power Outages.  It might be the setting hasn't stuck because the machines have not shut down gracefully everytime I set them.  But I will look again now...nope it has changed back.

I'd like to set autodisconnect to ffffffff in this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters

so that the value persists.  It's not working.  I suggest you try it.  Give it a few days and a shutdown.  I bet you it will retrurn to ffff the default.  XP will return to ff.
