preferences revert after shutdown

I have a machine that loses several preferences after a shutdown and
restart. Examples are screen resolution, IE window size, and some
application preferences.

The settings survive a warm reboot, but not a complete shutdown.

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
