Thread: Can’t accumulate settings in XP

I have installed XP in my PC. My issue is that I am not able to save any settings. It doesn't save my screen resolution, screensaver, and other customized settings are unsaved. Can anyone explain me what is exactly happen?

To resolve this problem follow the given steps:

1. Open regedit and check for DWORD value NoSaveSettings in right-side pane under following keys:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
• HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Policies\Explorer

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer

• HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Program Manager\Restrictions

The DWORD value should be most possibly in the last one.

2. Once you get the DWORD value, remove it and reboot your computer. It’ll fix your issue.
