Restoring System Defaults to HotDocs

Problem

I've altered several default settings for HotDocs, but now I want to restore the default settings I had when I installed HotDocs. How can I do this?

Solution

HotDocs uses the Windows System Registry to store your personal preferences for working with HotDocs. If you need to restore the installation defaults, you must clear the Current User section of the HotDocs portion of the System Registry.

You must be extremely careful when working in the System Registry. Failure to follow the instructions below exactly could result in your making changes that negatively affect all of the programs on your computer. You may want to ask your system administrator for help if you are unsure of what you are doing.
