Application Log - Overwrite as Needed

In the event viewer: In Application Log properties, there are options on
what to do "When maximum log size is reached." I set it to "Overwrite as
Needed", but the next day it is changed to "Overwrite Events Older than 5
Days."
Why does it do this and how can I make it stop? It has been going on for
several months.Sheila,
If it is possible, perhaps a Group Policy at a higher level could be making
this change.
