XP has a mind of its own when it comes to sorting the
Quick Launch icons. Regardless of what order I position
them, on reboot XP resorts them and I can see no pattern
other than it resorts them the same way each time. I
can't find anyway to control the sort order...anyone know
how to correct this? (PS I use an EP machine at work and
do not have this issue...running same versions and
updates in both places).
 
Your folder settings aren't being saved. Check event log (type in help) to see if there is a reason for it.
 
Thanks for the tip...check out event log and found
nothing related to saving folder options.

Description
Prevents users from saving certain changes to the
desktop. Users can change the desktop, but some changes,
such as the positions of open windows and the size and
position of the taskbar, are not saved when users log
off. Shortcuts placed on the desktop are always saved.

This entry stores the setting of the Don't save settings
at exit Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the
registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If
you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group
Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system
behaves as though the value is 0.

Value Meaning
0 (or not in registry) The policy is disabled or
not configured. Changes to the desktop are saved.
