so i did it and i got some error message after the purge and it uninstalled the windowsblinds but the settings weren't removed (the only file left is the wbsrv.dll)  im writing here because i can't reply to your last answer so after the purge i read the error messge and it says the wbcore and wbsrv files aren't validated files (something like that) and also it says something about the dll

so i tried deleting the wbsrv.dll but it says its opened in the winlogon.exe but i can't find it

i tried everyting but nothing work any advices?

okey thanks but how long will it take?

yeah i tought about it but i have a problem with it so i posted a thread about it in the microsoft forum so

Whenever there is an update to WB this is what I do: I apply the DEFAULT skin. I then uninstall WB. I reboot. ( at this point kecske040404 you should be fine if all you want to do is get rid of WB ) I install the updated WB. I reboot. At this point everything should be fine. Been doing it like this for a long time and have never had any problems.

The following is the wrong answer. I misread the question. I thought the question was asking how to reset WindowBlinds. Since there is no option to delete this post I am putting this notice on it instead. Thank you to JanOscar for pointing out my mistake.

I know the answer. I figured it out myself by using the Windows search next to the Start Menu and searching for WindowBlinds.

What you have to do is uninstall WindowBlinds (using uninstall in your Windows settings), but then you have to delete the folder "WindowBlinds" in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\"

When I tried this I actually deleted the "Stardock" folder in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\" because I didn't have any other StarDock programs.

Finally reinstall WindowBlinds. After I did this all my styles were reset back to the original settings. Yeah!

Also I highly recommend that right after you reinstall WindowBlinds that you backup your "WindowBlinds" folder that is in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\"

What I did was I went into "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\" then made a copy of "WindowBlinds" right inside there. It named it "WindowBlinds - Copy" and I renamed it to "WindowBlinds - Backup Copy".

Hope this helps.

@JanOscar Well that's how I reset WindowBlinds back to the original styles it originally had when I first installed it. I thought that was what this question was about; resetting WindowBlinds back the way it was when it was first installed. Just uninstalling and then reinstalling may not reset it back to the original settings. That's why deleting that folder is also required to completely reset WindowBlinds.

@JanOscar Well my advice is no good for resetting Windows settings. But to reset WindowBlinds back to factory settings my advice is good. I guess I accidentally answered the wrong question.

PS When I found this forum page I was looking for how to reset WindowBlinds settings. Sorry I posted my answer in the wrong topic.
