Yes, I understand that but their must be more than one variable involved..
Power Shell is not installed here.
Today 2 Live ID's while loading my.msn.com fail to have the previous customized settings with one module exception(Hotmail)

On which OS? This sounds like an implementation which depends on
Cookies, so in Vista you may have to consider whether the Cookies
are going into the regular Cookies directory or into Vista's new Low one.
An additional complication then is that the Cookie viewer doesn't show
you much any more. So, I would use dir/od/ta in a cmd window in both
directories to find out for sure what was going on with them.
BTW it might help to repeat the symptom description here (in Robear's
cross-post) or provide a link to wherever it is. I've read through this
twice and still am unclear what people think they are seeing. ; )
Has anybody tried using Fiddler and ProcMon to figure out what
is happening/not happening? <eg>
