    System restore????

    I accidently clicked on the MS Edge browser, hadn't opened it in a long time. Anyway I ended up with a my Chrome and Edge both open. I got confused and started shutting all the browsers. But some how now my desktop background has changed and my Chrome looks different. Tab colors have changed.

    Would a system restore reset these things. Is there a better solution???

    No restore!!! That would be like getting a cut on the finger and get to the Hospital emergency to get it treated.
    I don't us W10 (I'm assuming u have 10 as you mention that hideous Edge thing) but in w7 you right click on the desktop and choose "personalize" to change the menus.
    I'm assuming something similar would be there for 10.

    Yeah, I know I can do that but the problem is I have no idea what the setting were before this happened. I haven't installed any new software or modified the setting in months (at least not on purpose lol). Don't think a system restore would have a negative effect on my pc. But it does seem a little drastic for such a minor annoyance.

    you can try : right click on the desktop then personalization - themes - theme settings - Windows default themes - Windows

    Well got my desktop back, selected a new theme for my Chrome browser.

    Hard to believe that opening Edge caused these changes but I can't think of anything else I did.

    Still want to due a previous restore point just to see if it resets the themes. lol
