Saving Screen Settings

In PoS the sub total, sales tax, and total bar at the bottom of the screen is partially obscured by F1, F2, etc bar at the very bottom.  I can change the settings by going into the Display Settings (alt-F6) screen and checking Task Pad, but the next time a user logs in it's back to the default settings.  

Anyone have suggestions on how to make the settings permanent?

Thanks,
