Jamal,
Sure, it is possible to change options in All Users. Again, this is by
design if the admin wishes to update the defaults. If you have admin
privs then you can switch to the all users profile at any time from the
Window-Eyes file menu. Once you switch to this profile anything you
change will be updated in the all users profile.
But unlike most uninstallers, Window-Eyes will clean up after itself so
all the user profiles the admin privs allows will be removed including
the all user's profile.
If you know all user's profile is okay to use then you can simply delete
your %appdata%\gw micro\window-eyes\users directory and the next time
you launch Window-Eyes it will create a new version of that from all
users profile. Or of course you could just backup your %appdata%\gw
micro\window-eyes\users\default directory and restore it if you totally
kill your sets.
But in most cases unless the user runs text2set, they aren't likely to
destroy all their sets. They can simply use the set file manager and
restore the Window-Eyes defaults and then just the applications they may
have manually altered as well. But again, it isn't likely they will
destroy the Window-Eyes defaults and 20 applications before they figured
out the change they made wasn't good and the only way to restore things
is with the factory defaults so I think the red flag is waving a bit too
much here <smile>

Are you saying that Window-Eyes may have made changes from the defaults
within the All Users folder? If Window-Eyes is uninstalled, does it
eliminate the user profile folder? Often, uninstallers leave files that
were modified or created by the user. Does a new WE install overwrite
such files?

The user would like to return to the starting point of
the WE installation with all default settings (e.g., of the quick
install).
Because there's no guarantee that the all users profile hasn't been
mucked with, the only solution to get a true, clean factory install is
to uninstall, and re-install. Because the quick install is, well, quick,
it's simple to do. We recommend this as support techs when people want
to do what you're asking about.
