Strange Registry behaviour

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

After saving the registry, and rebooting, my Desktop ICONs have disappeared.
I save the registry again, reboot and they're back....they toggle between
being there and not being there each time I save and reboot.

Using a registry editor, they're always listed under HKLM\Explorer\Desktop

{000214A1-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} Recycle Bin
{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} My Device


If I edit the keys, then edit them back again and refresh the desktop, the
ICONs appears.


Looks like the regitry being restored ok....every other save works ok, and
even when it doesn't work I can get it to work without any changes (ok I
change it, then put it back) and refresh the desktop.


Any ideas?

I am using ReadRegistryFromOEM / WriteRegistryToOEM but I'm as sure as I
can be that I'm not losing any date in the way this is being done.


Using CE5.0 on an x86 platform.


Thanks for any help.
