Keyboard Modifier Keys will restore every time after reboot?

[HUan]

So that I have set this preference again ann again after system startup.
Any one can help? Thanks!

You mean the keyboard shortcuts set in System Preferences > Keyboard >> Keyboard Shortcuts or in some other preference pane?

Btw, can you tell us what Mac OS X version you run on what exact Mac?
And does the same occur on another, even temporarily created, account?
And how often do you reboot?

I had the same probles, that was how I managed to fix it:

This issue is user related, for when I logged as another user, the configuration was ok.

Solution:
- Delete or move to another location:
user_folder/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
user_folder/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.plist
(I think it was the second one)

I also deleted these files while testing, but I belive it wasn't necessary:
user_folder/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
user_folder/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist


The files begining with a dot are hidden, so either use a Terminal or make finder show hidden files:
- Show hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
- Hide hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
- Relaunch finder afeter each command to take effect.
(Of course, you need a terminal to run these commands)
