    High level:

    Factory restore puts the computer back to exactly like it was the day you purchased it, including all the bloat-ware and foist-ware (can you tell I don't like all the junk manufacturers put into their computers?) that it came with.

    Clean install installs just the operating system. No additional junk. Your computer will run faster, but it will not have some applications you may want, so you need to look at what you use and see if it's important to you or not and if it came with the computer or you added it later on.

    Hi there
    I did updated my spec. Can you see them??. Could you be so kind and then advise me how to do factory settings. I guess I'd like to go back to that point.
    Thanks

    From the manual: Restart the computer and press f11 while the “Press <F11> for recovery” message is displayed on the screen. Then select Recovery Manager.

    This is my simple solution, found after a year of trying suggestions from various forums:

    - Go to c:\Users\[account]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat
    - Move the UsrClass.dat to a backup folder (I used "My Documents")
    - arrange your icons, restart and let the system create a new file

    thanks to hypercube HTML Code:
