Gnucash 2.2.9 for Windows no longer remembers certain settings

[Mark Jones]

That's what's confusing me, because I deleted the .gconf folder and 
expected it to be rebuilt in my home folder when I re-installed Gnucash 
or just restarted the application but that doesn't happen. I am certain 
this is where the problem lies because I can see the content of this 
folder relates to my preferences, but it appears that Windows Gnucash is 
just ignoring it.

Any more help gratefully received.
Thanks
Mark
