Reset Internet Explorer to the default settings
By resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings, you return it to the state it was in when it was first installed on your computer. This is useful for troubleshooting problems that might be caused by settings that were changed after installation. When you restore Internet Explorer's default settings, some webpages that rely on previously stored cookies, form data, passwords, or previously installed browser add-ons might not work correctly. Resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings does not delete your favorites, feeds, and a few other personalized settings. See the table below for a complete list of all settings and information about whether they are reset or maintained.
If you purchased your computer with Windows already installed, any settings the manufacturer specified will be reapplied. These settings might include a specific home page or search provider.
The following table describes what will happen to various settings when you reset Internet Explorer.
Settings categories Items affected
Settings that are deleted Browser history, temporary Internet files, cookies, form data, and stored passwords
Typed URL information, offline webpages, menu extensions
Websites added to intranet, trusted, or restricted zones
Websites added for special cookie handling under the Privacy tab
Websites allowed to use pop-ups under Pop-up Blocker settings
Explorer most recently used list
Settings that are reset to Windows or manufacturer defaults Home page (for more information on backing up your home page tabs, click Related Topics)
Search providers, tabbed browsing settings
Colors, languages, fonts, and accessibility settings (General tab)
Security settings for all zones (Security tab)
Advanced tab settings
Privacy tab settings
Pop-up blocker, AutoComplete, Phishing Filter, and Zoom settings
Page setup, toolbar, and text size settings
Feeds settings (sync and notification, not feeds themselves)
ActiveX controls that are not on the pre-approved list (reset to opt-in state)
Toolbars, browser helper objects, and browser extensions are disabled
Settings and items that are maintained Favorites
Feeds
Content Advisor settings
Pre-approved ActiveX controls
Temporary Internet file (cache) path settings

Internet Programs (e-mail, instant messenger, and other programs associated with Internet use)

Default web browser setting
To reset Internet Explorer to the default settings
Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.
Open Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset.
When Internet Explorer finishes restoring the default settings, click Close, and then click OK.
Close Internet Explorer.
The changes will take effect the next time you open Internet Explorer.
Notes
If you close all visible windows, but still get an error message when trying to reset, you might have programs running that are not visible. Restart Windows, open Internet Explorer, and try resetting again.
If any of the categories fail to reset, it is because Internet Explorer could not access a file or registry setting. This can be caused by insufficient security privileges, files or settings being used by another program, or low memory or high CPU usage. You can either continue to use Internet Explorer without resetting these settings, or restart your computer and try running reset again.
If you are using Internet Explorer on a server and have turned off hardening (stronger security settings for use on servers), reset will go to client level security. You must reinstall hardening if you want the increased security level.
