That is strange then.  I have software on my XP clients that will not let
anything get changed.  If there are changes made then once you reboot the
computer, it will be back to the way it was when you started.  If the
client is recording this change also then it would not be saved on a
reboot.

I would think that was the problem, but I have had this software running
for a few years now and I have not had this problem before.

Thanks for the info.
