If you’re having problems retaining Internet Explorer settings or the runonce continously appears after a restart when using the Flex Profile Kit, you will need to make sure that you have the following reg hive HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main is included in the Windows_and_IE.INI
So it should look like this under # Generic IE Settings,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

This happens if the DisablePersonalDirChange policy setting exists. For stand-alone systems, to get back the missing buttons, open Regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
In the right-pane, delete the DisablePersonalDirChange value.
