Hi,

I forgot to ask: does this happen when you close and reopen IE in the same session, or is it when you reboot.

Do you have more than one user account................are you logged in as administrator?

Have you used the <tools> option in SpyBot (start in advanced mode) and looked for anything unusual?

I have just tested XP Pro and IE6 and the settings are saved both on restart and re-boot.

You might try booting into safe mode and testing it there to see if it retains the settings?

Cheers
