Experts,

How do I preserve the settings for a particular application if the desktop crashes or power source switched off. The application always returns to the default settings.The desktops are running Windows XP and 7.

Cheers

It rather depends on the application and how it usually saves the settings...  Does it use the registry or files?  If it uses files where are they stored?

No we just need the settings to remain the same once they have been initially set.
