IE7 not saving custom settings

I use sites such as www.bbc.co.uk where you can customise and set your
location etc, however when I close IE & Re-Open, it has forgotten all the
settings. I have checked that cookies are enabled for those sites, I deleted
all cookies and watched them all re-appear again after setting everything
but it still will not remember. I contacted the bbc but have had no replies,
however I don't believe it is their fault as this works ok on my work PC. I
have disabled all add-ons and still the same, I have un-installed every kind
of toolbar (winamp, virgin media etc). I am using XP with SP3, IE7
V7.0.5730.11IS

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Thanks for replying, but this is already the setting I have and it doesn't
save the settings.

Then one or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone Alarm
(Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

Try this:

SAVE SETTINGS ON EXIT

Change the "NoSaveSettings" value data to "00000000":

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000
