Hello, glee. It's a pity, in their own article...
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q130234
Save Settings On Exit Option Enabled by Default

...., MS doesn't say which format NoSaveSettings should take. Different
formats likely means different bits are set, especially if the value is
not zero & if it is signed. Ultimately, it depends upon the app reading
the Registry to understand the value read. I hope those apps had another
place to look besides that article to discover the format to expect. My
guess is it should be binary, because the others in that key are binary.
Also, it's really the first byte that is of importance...

OFF: 00 00 00 00
ON: 01 00 00 00

But those are mostly double negatives, as Blanton iterated. This is
pretty much how (Bicycle) Rob once put it...

.........Quote...........
Right-click the right pane and select New, Binary Value, & name it:

NoChangeStartMenu To disable START button context menus
NoClose To disable Shut Down.
NoFavoritesMenu To remove Favorites.
NoFileMenu To remove the File Menu in Explorer.
NoFind To remove Find.
NoLogOff To remove Log Off.
NoRecentDocsHistory To disable the Documents compilation process.
NoRecentDocsMenu To remove Documents.
NoRun To remove Run.
NoSaveSettings To prevent some few settings getting saved to
the Registry.
NoSetFolders To disable Control Panel and Printer folders.
NoTrayContextMenu To disable Taskbar context menu.
NoViewContextMenu To disable (all?) context menus.

Double-click the new entry, select modify, and add this value...
01 00 00 00.
To reverse the action, change the value to...
00 00 00 00

|
| | NoSaveSettings 00 00 00 00
| | NoStartBAnner 00 00 00 00
|
| These two have a value of zero; therefore, they are not in effect.

| Meaning
| 0=(Not)NoSaveSettings. (therefore, do save settings)
| 1=NoSaveSettings.
