Trying to restore back to factory what can i

You will have to restore all of your programs to there default value
Rather than doing them individually
During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart
hope this helps

Guardian, If you want to remove all SW that you installed and all the data that you have on the computer, then the easiest way is to go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Restore. Restore your PC/laptop to the earliest date that you can. The restorable date would be in bold numerals. Go backwards as far as you can and select the oldest bold date. The laptop would take a reboot after sometime. Do not panic. Just follow the instructions. Should you want the data for you, then back it up before restoring.Backup to a CD or a DVD.

try this first:

start menu,
all programs
accessories
system tools,
system restore
If it is not there, then you probably can not do it.

or

Try useing the F11 keys @ boot up, the restore to factory settings are there.

What kind of PC is it? if its a Dell, all you have to do is on start up, press F-11 and follow the instructions.

Do you have the restore disk that came with the pc? Just remember that restoring the pc to factory settings, will wipe out your hard drive as if it were 'new.' Try to save whatever you can before you perform the restore.
