The Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES) feature does not reset some settings in Internet Explorer 7

After you use Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES) in Windows Internet Explorer 7, RIES does not reset some settings to their default states.

You cannot reset the following four settings by using RIES because applications other than Internet Explorer use the settings. These four settings are as follows:

• Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)
• Use passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)
• Always use ClearType for HTML
• Check for Publisher�s certificate revocation

To reset these settings, follow the steps depending on the operating system of the computer.

For Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003

1. Click Start, click Run, type Inetcpl.cpl, and then click OK.
2. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click Restore advanced settings.
   
   
   Note You can also manually click to select or click to clear the check boxes that are next to the settings that you want to change.

For Windows Vista

1. Click Start, type inetcpl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click inetcpl.cpl in the Programs list.
2. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click Restore advanced settings.
   
   
   Note You can also manually click to select or click to clear the check boxes that are next to the settings that you want to change.

Additionally, the RIES feature does not affect the following settings:
