I wonder if you might have fouled the global setting for the
PrivateNotebookOptions->{"FileContents"} option. You can look at this in the
Option Inspector (under the "Notebook Options" category). Set the scope to
global, and if this option has an 'x' next to it, then click the 'x' to restore
it to its default value.
Another possibility would be to press Ctrl+Shift upon startup, which will
clean-start Mathematica, removing all of its global settings...of which, the
aforementioned option is one such setting.
Sincerely,
