How to Reset Internet Options in IE 7
Internet Explorer 7 has a "Reset" option. Choosing this option allows you to revert to the factory settings for your privacy, security and personal settings. If an installed add-on is causing a problem, this is usually the best way to fix it; resetting the browser automatically removes any installed add-ons. Make sure you know all of your account passwords before resetting Internet Explorer; once it is reset, they will be lost.
