Thankyou Chris,

I was waiting to post later today 'cause I haven't been able to test it out
fully today, but I tried the fix permissions route last night. IE hasn't
lost it's pref's the 3 or 4 times I was able to startup and quit (within a
cpl minutes, just to test)

Could be the one!

Dang Permissions.. I see fixing them is creeping into everyone's routine
maintenance schedules.
