Windows 7: Unable to Reset Internet Explorer 9

IE 9 32 bit on windows 7 6; does not reset completely.

I reverted to IE8 and tried. Got this error message:

I am the only user/administrator. I went into safe mode when I had IE8,
took possession /full control of inetcpl.cpl and ieunatt.exe under my name as administrator.

Returned to normal mode tried resetting IE8. Same error as above.

Ran the group policy .vbs from this web site to reset group policy.

Still could not completely restore the 'reset to default'' settings completely.

Everything else works. I reinstalled IE9.

The BEX64 error does not show up on attempting to reset to default in IE9.
I see a cross.

What is the fix? There is no malware on the machine.

Thank you in advance for any help with registry settings that will fix this problem.

Are you trying to uninstall IE 9 and return to IE 8?

No.

Just to be clear, the reset function is working only partially in either IE8 or IE9.
I had no trouble reverting to IE8. The error message I posted occurred with IE8.

Thank you for responding; it appears that you did not read the original post completely.

I read the post completely but did not understand what you were asking.

Sorry.

Maybe someone else can help.

Another thought, have you tried the reset with add-ons disabled?

I removed the tracking protection and Adobe flashplayer before attempting to reset.

Microsoft is aware of this issue; but no fix available. I think there is a problem with a registry key or permissions; but I do not know which /where.
