Guest Kennard V. Wilson Jr. Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I'm using Windows XP with service pack 2. Is there a way to make a registry change permanent so that it doesn't reset to the default when you reboot? I've done it before but can't remember what I did. Thanks. - Kennard

Thanks. - Kennard > Hi Kennard I'm puzzled. . . registry changes *are* permanent (unless you change the settings back again). Can you say what change you are trying to make and what's happening? Some security programs "lock down" the registry to prevent any nasties from interfering with it. Are you perhaps running one of these? -- Nightowl
