What happens when you reset a computer?

[DKean]

I was going to try resetting my computer but wasn't sure what would happen.
Having a problem going to bookmarked sites.

clear cookies

if the problem is with ALL bookmarks well that’s one thing that MAY require the nuclear option but if a single bookmark is broken that requires a much less severe response.

- delete the bookmark(s) affected
- in your browser go to whatever website and re-save as a new bookmark
- consider getting and using a good anti-virus/anti-malware program.

sometimes it will clear itself if you restart

Well, hopefully he means rebooting but could certainly mean returning the OS to factory condition.

Not being able to go to bookmarks usually means in my world that he's gotten hijacked, being redirected somewhere else every time you try to click on something.

Before advice is given, what specifically do you mean by "resetting" your computer? How are you going to do it?
