Hello,
I have a problem with my taskbar resetting to a certain configuration every time I reboot my computer. I reset it every time, but when I reboot again, it automatically resets to the 'default' layout.
I ahve also noticed that it resets every time I have to close windows explorer abnormally (by ending the task in task manager).
Anyone have any idea why it mihgt be resetting each time one of these things happens?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Settings are not saved when you end explorer abnormally (and explorer is also the shell for windows - controls stuff like taskbar).

Why are you terminating abnormally - sounds like a common occurrence - you shouldn't need to generally, unless something wrong with machine/installation.
