Is your computer a stand alone computer or a member of a domain? If a member of a domain then it could be group policy that is preventing you from unchecking the radio button.

Hope this helps.

yes it is a member of domain could you please assist in gpedit where should i edit to overcome this as only one user are facing this issue over domain thanks for help....

If it is only one user then it is unlikely group policy.

Is the user having the same issue on other computers? Are other users having the issue on the computer in question?


Hope this helps.

This might sound banal, but...

...have you clicked "Apply to all" after unchecking the radio button?

no only that particular user is having issue might be virus or something ...............

It might be a corrupt profile. Try recreating the user's profile.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Anything in the above key set for "NoSaveSettings" for the user?

Or is there any other value set in there that might be causing the problem?

0 = Enables Save Settings on Exit.

1 = Disables Save Settings on Exit.

As far as I know there is no data value that should = 91
