Preferences not saved after reboot

#1

I recently uninstalled Paradox 9 and installed Paradox 11.0.0.411 under Windows
2000 along with the rest of WordPerfect Office X3. I installed everything
into the default folders. I am running Paradox on a standalone machine using
the Administrator account.

The problem is that my preferences, developer preferences, working directory,
project viewer directory, and "Show this welcome screen at startup" choice
revert to the defaults after a reboot, although they are retained if I just
close Paradox and reopen it.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you, Bertil, this worked, although I didn't understand the post well
enough to tell why the problem occurs. I hope it will be fixed at some point,
though.

For future reference, the registry key needed is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run.
Delete the entry "PdxRegCl."

that file you deleted from the registry causes the problem you described..
it kills all the preferences and personal settings before paradox is
re-started..

Sorry for being dense, but why would a company want something like that to
run every time Windows starts? Or is this just a bug that presumably will
be fixed?
