Thanks for your help Alex.

I tried the suggestions and then used RegMon from Systinternals to monitor
the key. Turns out something else I had installed reset it on startup
(Netcaptor - "Suppress Javascript errors" option).

Sorry for taking your time as it was not IE :)

Cheers,
Stu

Any policies in affect? Any 3rd party apps interfering. If it works in Safe
Mode, then I would suspect a 3rd party application is interfering.
