I would guess there are basically two types
Program crash and error traps do not have time to re-set FILEDIA is a classic example

The second unknown applications modifying you environment behind the scene. For example you may be modifying your space but your system administrator may be running setup files so he knows everyone's setup

I am not interested in the reason it happens, I am interested it stopping the system variables from changing.

@Anonymous - You can't stop it from happening but you can protect yourself and have an extra reset button by using the SYSVARMONITOR.

I am using that its just annoying when are pickstyle value changes and move and escape don't work like we normally use them. I have changed the values to the preferred values we use which makes it a quick fix, but the variables that change that we aren't sure of are the problem. Was just hoping there was a way to lock the changes from happening all together.

Did anyone ever figure out what was causing this and fix it? If so, what is the resolution? We have one computer that resets variable 7 to 8 times a day.
