No no one is changing it. I am the only person on these machines and absolutely no one is changing it for no one else here even knows what a registry is. It changes on its own. 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.
