Initial Problem:

Over time the internet changes, and sometimes it is just good to go back to basics, often pop ups come up that you make selections on. These changes save, if you want to go back to the default here is how.

Solution:

First you need a computer and internet explorer as your default browser. This is the browser that comes with Microsoft.

Open up the internet window by clicking on the icon on your desktop, or by going to the Start Menu, All programs, Internet Explorer
