How to restore Windows XP to factory settings
Posted on July 31, 2009 at 5:18 am
Oddly enough, I’ve been asked by many people recently how they can restore their computers to “factory settings”. Depending on how you look at it, factory settings can mean several things.

If you’re like me, you may have 5 browsers installed on your system! Currently, I have Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Opera! And in each browser, I have different settings, different bookmarks, different add-ons, etc, etc.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a program that could backup all of your browsers and all of their settings at once!?
FavBackup is a nifty little tool that provides a simple solution for backing up and restoring browser settings for several different browsers.
