By default, Windows XP or Vista will save all of your changes when it shut down or restart. This is giving us some benefits because you don’t need to rearrange your Desktop or others Windows settings so that appropriate with your need. But on other hand, this is bringing some negative effect such as if your computer use by more than a user, I sure they will change your settings according they like.

So, to prevent it, set your system so that Windows doesn’t save the settings changed.
To set it you need modify your registry system. So, open your Registry Editor first by click Start – Run menu, type regedit in textbox then press Enter button. Then point the cursor to HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion|Policies | Explorer path. Locate the NoSaveSettings key and if you don’t find it create it by right click on empty space of right panel, choose New – Dword value menu. Replace the original key name to NoSaveSettings. Then change NoSaveSettings value to 1 by double click it then type 1 in Value data field and click OK to confirm it. Close your Registry Editor and then restart your computer.
Now, your Windows won’t save the system settings changes. And if you want to make it save settings again, just change NoSaveSettings value to 0.
