title: Why is Visual Studio 2010 not saving Environment General settings?
body: <p>My installation of VS 2010 does not appear to be saving settings in the Environment section (Recent files, show status bar checkbox, etc).  Other settings do save properly, though (Auto Recover, etc).</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>My Environment:
  Windows XP
  Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, Team Explorer, TFS2010 Power Tools
  Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 installed as well
  Works on my XP laptop.  The one difference between the two that I can think of is that I added the VS Theme extension on the workstation that I am having an issue on.  Don't know if that fouled anything up in the registry.
  When I modify the settings (like the number of items shown in Window menu input), the settings are not saved to the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio/10.0/General/WindowMenuItemCount)</p>
