Incidentally, all these things to "save settings" are not needed on IIS6.
Two changes were made because of this tendency to lose settings after
closing the UI:
1. When closing the UI, the changes it made in-memory are immediately
flushed to disk
2. While in the UI, there are various "save configuration to a file" (per
service/site/vdir level) or "save configuration to disk" (computer-level)
options, which do those actions immediately.

I agree. Stopping and restarting the IIS services should let you see if the security settings are going to disappear or not after a reboot [in other words, I believe the IIS settings may be disappearing when the services are stopped and restarted and not really because of the reboot]. You might notice that the settings may disappear after the service is stopped and restarted. I have seen this happen. In this case, I made one change, stopped and started the IIS services, then went back into the IIS MMC to confirm that the setting is still there. If it is, make one more change and stop and restart the service [or maybe even just that one web site instance, by right-clicking on that web site instance in the MMC]. This sounds really strange, but it was the only way I was able to figure out how to solve my problem.
