WinXP - Registry Changes don't stick after reboot

[Ducay]

Hey guys,

So basically the title says all. Im running WinXP SP2 and whenever I change registry values, they seem to revert back after I reboot.
To clarify, I am the sole user, and am the administrator.

What gives? Any Clues?

Which registry settings did you change?

What are you changing? Some things may pull from other areas and get rewritten.

Also a lot of antivirus and antispyware software have a registry guard built in. If you change something it may change it back.

Im writing a couple of changes:

1) Get rid of the "Shared Folders" Live Messenger creates in My Docs
This one is done through a regsvr32 command and the dll in the program's directory.


2)Getting rid of Windows Messenger associations with Outlook Express ( 2 entries)
Both are in the same root:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ (Then a folder in there)


Im solely running AVG free as my anti-virus
