Windows 7 - Internet Explorer Settings Seem to Be Network Dependant

When I configure a client's new Windows 7 Professional SP1 computer here at my office it is in a 'non-domain' environment.
Included in this configuration is Internet Explorer.
I run it, configure the menus, included toolbars, enable all addins, etc. for both the Administrator and the end-user account.
I also close and start IE again to make sure that the settings are working properly.
Then I complete the installation at the client - again in a 'non-domain' environment.
I answer 'Home', as I did initially at my office, when prompted by the Windows 7 Firewall.
However, when I run Internet Explorer for the first time at my client's site as either Administrator or the end-user, IE prompts me about enabling addins.
Also, some settings in the Action Centre appear to be back at their defaults instead of my custom configuration that I implemented at my office.
I know that this has been a long week for me and I must be missing something extremely basic.
Any ideas?
 
What version of internet explorer are you using? by the way IE prompting you to enable plugins is normal, just decide to enable or disable them.

Other settings seem to be reset in addition to Internet Explorer such as power options.
Yes, I know that it is normal that the question about the plugs is supposed to be asked one time but it is occurring again once I connect to the client's network.
In other words, the question occurs once and only once at my office regardless of the number of times that I start Internet Explorer and then it occurs again when I connect to another network with the same username.
