@David
I was looking for this issue also but the sollution was really easy if you know where they put it
It is possible to do this with a GPO.
Administrative Templates, Microsoft Office 2010 system, Global Options, and then click Customize
the nuse: Allow roaming of all user customizations

I have not seen this issue before nor has Ed Bott http://www.edbott.com/weblog/, to whom I referred your question.

I wonder if you have a group policy setting, a security application or a file permissions setting that is interfering with the persistency of the settings.

You might try contacting Microsoft about this or doing a Google search to see if others suffer with the same issue. Have you tried rerunning the Microsoft hotfix you noted in your comment?

QAT is great. Unfortunately in Office 2010 changes to the QAT are not preserved from one login to the next. This was an issue in Office 2007 too but was resolved by an MS hotfix, followed by a registry tweak to point Office at the roaming profile rather than the local one.
Has anyone come across a working solution for Office 2010?
Thanks
David
