GnuCash creates a number of directories in c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\, 
like
- .banking
- .gconf
- .gconfd
- .gnome2
- .gnome2_private
- .gnucash

The directories related to the preferences that are not retained are .gconf 
and .gconfd. It is the GConf program that is responsible for storing your 
preferences and for some reason it isn't allowed.

On the other hand, you also wrote that open account registers when GnuCash is 
quit are reopened when you start GnuCash again. That information is stored in 
the .gnucash directory, so apparently you do have write permissions in that 
directory.

Can you look at those directories and check if there are some permissions 
issues there ?

Also, can you attach the gnucash trace file [1] ? It may hold additional 
useful information.

Thanks
