Resetting the defaults?

[Colin D.]

Here's a thing for quite a while I've been using specific projects, all the
same and I set my defaults to suite them. now I need to re-set the defaults.
Any idea how I do this?
TIA, Colin D.

I am not aware of any automatic way to restore the defaults to their
original conditition. Therefore, I would suggest you click Tools - Options,
select the page you wish to reset and then click the Help button in the
dialog. The Help for each page of the Options dialog tells you the default
settings. Hope this helps.

Dale/Colin,
One way to reset all defaults is to replace your existing Global file
with a backup Global. When older versions of Project were installed, a
backup Global was installed in the same folder as the active Global,
however I did a quick check and didn't find that to be the case with
current versions (maybe I just didn't dig deep enough). Nonetheless,
search for the location of you existing Global, change its name (e.g.
GlobalBU.mpp or similar) and then open Project. If I remember correctly,
Project will not find the Global and will therefore generate a new
default one.

If you want to keep some of the custom settings, first use the Organizer
to transfer them from you existing Global to a dummy Project file. Then
use the Organizer to put them in your new default Global.

Hope this helps.

I'm not keen on fooling around with the unknowns, so I went into Tools -
Options and adjusted as I needed, as it happens there was only a couple of
changes I needed to make.
Thx again Guys, Colin D.
