Hello

I have Windows Server 2008 R2.
When ever I change systempropertiesadvanced-change desktop look(eye candy) to customize, after logging off the settings return to normal.

If I enter sounds(control panel) and change my sound scheme to no sound, after I log off and return it will change back to Windows default.

I can change most settings(desktop wallpaper etc), but some settings are forced back to defaults.

Is there a policy thats doing this?

All of this is happening on standard users accounts.
I can change what ever in Admin.


Another question:
My Windows Server running very quick, but I noticed RAM is very cheap these day.
If I upgraded the computer to 4 Gb from 2 Gb would I notice much of a difference in speed?

If you're wondering why I'm asking these questions, I use Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit as a normal computer(work station).
Works completely fine.

Thanks.
 
Hi, you should check the event viewer when you logoff. I assume you are using your server without a domain, if so, I don't know what happens to local users.

Yes, you should upgrade to 4 GB, 64 bits should have at least 4 GB.
 
The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code (0x40010004)

Mean anything?
Only thing I saw that may be linked is that.

I notice my sound is disabled now...
Windows is a strange thing.


How do I change settings/policies for accounts?
How can I see a list of all policies?
