Note there is also a superhidden setting (this refers to system files that are hidden I think)

JeffK:
Thanks, Carol.  I'm at work now.  I shall try this here and again when I get home.

kimmchii:
i'm curious why the settings revert by itself, what anti-spyware/anti-virus do you use? anything like winpatrol that monitor and guard the settings?

JeffK:
I'd like to know why they won't stick too.  I wondered if it was something in my startup but I can't identify anything.  I first became aware of the problem when trying to do something with Genie Backup Pro.  I have deleted it and Directory Opus just in case they were the problem. 

I use BitDefender Standard v9 antivius.  It does have an antispyware component.  I might disable it to see if it makes any difference.

Jeff

Carol Haynes:
You don't run RegDefend or anything like that?
