Often this occurs in Windows 2000 because your settings first get stored to
a cached copy of the IIS metabase in memory and Windows fails to save the
settings to disk when Windows is shut down for various reasons.

The workaround for me usually is to manually stop and restart the IIS www
service after making the change, and confirm that the setting is still
there.
