  I suspect (but I'm no expert on registry entries) that this may
be being reset by having an entry in the 'Load=' line in win.ini.

  This is usualy in the first few lines of that file, under the
section header of [windows].  The line *usualy* reads just 'Load='
with nothing after it, but other programs may have set something there
as well.  Look in the 'Run=' line as well.

  On boot Win9x reads the 'compatability' older files win.ini and
system.ini, and puts the result in the registry.

  Regards,
      Harry.
