How do you restore your program defaults?

i messed up my default program settings on shortcuts. Now all my shortcuts open with microsoft word......not helpful at all. How do I put them back the way they were?

Hi,
The easiest way to solve this is to run Windows System Restore.  If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you will need to disable Nortons Tamper Protection as shown in Step 2, on the link below.

Once you've done this, shut down the notebook.  Windows System Restore is usually best run in Safe Mode.  Tap away at f8 as you start the notebook to enter Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter.  When this has loaded, from the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore.  Pick a restore point at least 24 hours before the change in file associations was made and then proceed with the restore process.  When complete, Windows will reboot as normal.

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    If you upgraded from an earlier version of OS X such as Snow Leopard, the procedure you want is not this one. Let me know.

  • How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

    Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
    Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
    Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
    Thanks a ton.

    How do I know if it's on my computer?
    If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
    Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.

  • How do you restore your iPod? HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

    Okay, i've had my iPod for awhile, and this is the first problem i've ever had!
    When i plug in my iPod into iTunes, a pop-up comes up and says :
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod 'Kelsey's IP."' Use the iPod UPDATER to restore the iPod to Factory settings"
    I have NO idea what that means, i tried to reset it, but nothing happened? I went to preferences, and it doesnt even recognize that my Nano is plugged into the computer anymore! This happened after i plugged my Nano in, took it out of the connector, and then plugged it in again, and it didn't recognize it! PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know how to fix this & Don't know what i need to do to fix this!
    THANK YOU

    Hello Kelsey!
    Before you do a restore, first try to get your computer recognizing your iPod by putting it into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again. See the details laid out here:
    How to put your iPod into disk mode
    Also, see these articles:
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod does not appear in "My Computer" or in iTunes
    If you believe you need to restore your iPod, then I'll explain here how to restore your iPod.
    Plug in your iPod.
    Close iTunes if it is currently running.
    Go to: "START -> All Programs -> iPod -> iPod Updater [the date of your iPod Updater's version]".
    Open the iPod Updater. When it recognizes your iPod, click on the "Restore" button. Restoring should take about 5 minnutes.
    Note that restoring your iPod will delete all the contents off of it, but will not affect your iTunes library.
    If you have any trouble with restoring your iPod, or need any other explanation, just post back, and I'll be here to help you...I hope this helped!

    Thanks both - I have accessed my itunes account using my apple ID - but I don't see how I can restore all my previous purchases and am still nervous about plugging in my phone should it not recognise the account - though it did tell me this was the third computer I'd asked for access - which is correct.  Are you saying I can now plug in my phone and sync without loosing everything on my iphone? and what about the apps?
    I said not to plug in the phone until you have restored the iTunes Library:
    Open iTunes: Store Menu (in Sidebar) Purchased:
    Select music 'Not on this Computer' and download, repeat for Apps etc.

  • How do you restore your ipod touch when disabled

    my grand daughter put a screen passcode on her phone and forgot it.  How do you unlock it so she can use it again.

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How do you restore your iphone from a certain date?

    Is there a way to restore your iphone 4s from a certain date (i.e. the last time you synced)? I downloaded a program today that enables me to access work email from my iphone; however, the security restrictions it has put into place on my phone (not my employer's phone) are making me want to remove the program. I have been told by out IT department that I can only restore my iphone & start over from scratch.

    Well, if you create iCloud backups, they overwrite one another every night around 1:30 AM, so that may not be so helpful unless of an emergency. The only other way is through an iTunes backup. When an iTunes backup is overwritten, it is sent to the recycling bin. It may take a while to determine which backup you want to open in iTunes, but once you do, you can restore your phone to the backup date of your choice.
    Thank you for choosing Apple.
