window explorer and internet explorer wont retain settings

message from =?Utf-8?B?UGhpbA==?= on 1 Jun 2004
I make changes to the toolbars and view settings. IE View address bar, status, no text on icons etc. When ever I reboot my machine these settings are not retained. Any ideas, or do you know the name of the reg keys?

Your help is appreciated.
