That is probably it - but how do I tell if it is volatile ?

in W2K (et al) registry hives/keys can be "volatile".   Volatile hives
persist only until you shutdown. 
 
if the values you describe are volatile that would explain what
you observed

Subject: [DUG]: OffTopic - Registry

G'day,
 
I e-mailed this 8:30 this morning and I haven't seen any sign of it, so I am assuming there is something wrong with the off-topic list...
 
Has anyone ever heard of the situation where parts (not all) the registry is returned to default values after every reboot ?
It doesn't matter what type of user (Administrator or ordinary User) they, and the programs they install, can add keys and values - but when the reboot they all disappear !
The PC is a new Dell-W2K. The promise me not login scripts or anything like that are run for login.
 
Any ideas or help much appreciated.
