Mouse settings are lost when logging out

lol this is going to sound crazy and it may not work but it would be interesting to see if it works.....

Ok go into your Mouse settings and make sure they are set the way you want then

Click Start  then Run then type regedt32 then click the plus sign next to HKEY_USERS and then click on the Mouse folder........take note of the Mouse Speed and sensitivity etc

now click on the plus sign next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then click on the Mouse folder.....and take exact notes of whats in there for number values for speed and sensitivity......

(save a backup of your registry before doing this) If they are different.....then change the HKEY_USERS especially in speed and sensitivity to match exactly what the HKEY_CURRENT_USER is set to......

Im only thinkin that manually setting it in the registry then savin the registry configuration might just FORCE it into saving the settings   =D

Lemme know if it works.....thx

Hi again.  Thank you for your response and the good suggestion
to fiddle with the registry.  Unfortunately, it still doesn't
preserve the setting between logoffs/poweroffs.  Here's what I
did, per my understanding of your suggestion:

1. Prior to setting the mouse parameters I wanted, Regedit
indicated, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Mouse, that
MouseSpeed=0 and MouseSensitivity=10.  This corresponds to the
"Enhance pointer precision" box = UNCHECKED, and the Pointer
Speed slidebar halfway between Slow and Fast. 

2. After setting the two parameters to my desired settings,
Regedit indicated, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Mouse, that
MouseSpeed=1 and MouseSensitivity=20.  This corresponds to the
"Enhance pointer precision" box = CHECKED, and the pointer speed
slidebar = Fast.

3. I found many instances of MouseSpeed and MouseSensitivity in
my registry.  I found these two parameters in these registry
locations:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Mouse
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alps\Apoint\Params\Default

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint\Params\Default
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint_Default\Params\Default

and

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\ControlPanel\Mouse

and, under various "uuu" values (uuu=18,19,20,21; as I have
multiple users on my machine)

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-uuu\ControlPanel\Mouse
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-uuu\Software\Alps\Apoint\Params\Default

4. In every place, I changed MouseSpeed from zero to one,
and MouseSensitivity from 10 to 20.

But still, whenever I logoff or poweroff, these two settings are
lost.

5. I initally tried just changing these parameters under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Mouse and
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\ControlPanel\Mouse and
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-uuu\ControlPanel\Mouse.

When that failed, I further searched the registry and found the

*\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint* locations.

6. So it didn't work, but I much appreciate your suggestion.
