Hi group,

I have been experiencing a bug recently, and after some
research today, found it was (or similar to) KB810706 - I
resize my taskbar (specifically, make it double size), and
lock it - but when i reboot, it forgets my changes. It
used to work, but i tweaked my desktop a little while
back, which seemed to coincide with the symptoms. The
major tweak was changing the caption button size, but a
few other small changes from the same place were done too.

The article on this
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;810706) says it has been fixed in SP1, however i have
SP1, and am still experiencing the bug...

Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't found any
similar bugs on the MS site, or the internet in general...


Thanks,

Gareth

Hi,

See if this helps:

Save Settings on Exit (Line 54)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
