After installing Window8 and using it for a couple of weeks I decided to re-install it
this was done in two ways through an internal program found in the Change computer
settings screen which although cleaned or re-formatted my hard drive returned windows8 to
the settings that was set before the re-install.
So I did a re-install from boot and this re-set Window8 to default but after entering my
email and password all my browsing shortcuts re-appeared to the history folder in IE10
and also my desktop rotation screens also appeared.
So its worrying to me that all this information is stored somewhere by windows and also what else is stored ??? .

And no all my files were deleted in the re-install so no way was it re-set from a folder.
