That is probably it - but how do I tell if it is volatile ?   Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS Ltd.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Nello Sestini To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 3:33 PM Subject: Re: [DUG]: OffTopic - Registry 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       -ns http://www.roserox.co.th ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Mckenzie To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 10:22 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.   Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS Ltd.
