GUI settings not displaying after restart.

I'm having trouble with settings being saved when I restart. I changed
to a custom cursor and set my taskbar to auto-hide. The problem I'm
having is, when I restart, my cursor is back to normal and my task bar
is off auto-hide, but when I go into the settings it shows the still set
to my changes. Then all I do is click "OK" or "APPLY" and the visuals
start to match the settings again. Please help.

It might be a security program blocking the Registry changes it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
