Resetting System Default Settings
I have already tried system restore, but that doesn't restore my settings
regarding: fonts, theme's, desktop preferences etc. What do I need to do to restore all of these to what they were from the factory? My NB came with XP Pro, I downloaded the SP2 upgrade when it became available last year from Windows Update. Have I provided enough info in order to correct this issue. Thanks in advance. -- smd |
