Two weekends ago I wanted to restore my computer back to it's factory condition because there was just too much junk and such. So I ran my Compaq Quick Restore discs (I have a Compaq Presario 5000A with Windows Me) and it cleaned out my default C drive but left everything on the D drive. I was told by Compaq tech support that because I installed the D drive myself (not me, but had it installed) that the Quick Restore discs wouldn't run properly unless unhooked my D drive/partitioned my hard drives/run an F disc which I had/have no idea what that means but I do know the last time I did that, I paid $200 for a CompUSA technician to fix my computer. So they tell me I can just right click on the D drive and format it to totally clean it out. I did and thought I was good to go but I see things in my registry from programs that I had before I restored the computer that I hadn't yet reinstalled. Is there a difference between running the Quick Restore and just right clicking and selecting format?
The reason I want to clean out my registry is because of this window switching (I'm told it's called stealing focus) that is driving me crazy. I started a post here a few weeks ago and unfortunately I couldn't fix the problem and it's gotten worse.
So what can I do? Thanks in advance
