Win XP reset my "Smooth edges of screen fonts" setting

[kimhoong79]

In order to make my system run smoother, I have disabled most of the visual effects through Control Panel>System>Advanced>Performance>Settings

One of the settings that I have disabled is "Smooth edges of screen fonts". However, sometimes whenever I run certain programs (most obvious is Ms PowerPoint), this setting will be abled automatically.

Can anyone tell me how to make this settings to be disabled permanently?

Is there any Group Policy set preventing you from saving your settings?
