Visual effects restore to defaults after re-boot
On my work computer I cannot save visual effects - I like the animations in Win 7, but for some reason the OS is restoring the settings to defaults after I switch off the PC and power it on (during the current session, the settings are accepted). It doesn't happen with other features, e.g. custom startup background, or a theme.
Is there a way to save the new settings once and for all? |

I've noticed that issue on standard user accounts. Have to move them up to admin make the changes then reset to standard.
