Re: reset IE to default settings

Well since there is no maintenance mode that I can find, and I'm not trying
to setup user restrictions, I am assuming that a quite reinstall of IE 6 on
the target machine would reset all of these values to default?

That would work for me except for one exception that I just realized.. (and
as I was just about to get excited too.) a flat install of IE6 is quite a
bit larger in size than the small script or app I was hoping for; generally
if it can't fit on a floppy, it's unfortunatley too large for my use in this
case ...
