METHOD 1
1. Hold down the F8 key on the keyboard.
2. With the F8 key depressed, launch either CorelDRAW or PHOTO-PAINT
3. The following message will appear:
Are you sure you want to overwrite the workspace with the factory defaults?
4. Click Yes and release the F8 key.
Note: Some newer keyboards have an “F Lock” key that must be pressed first to activate the Function keys on the keyboard.
METHOD 2
1. Go to Start
2. Click Run.
Note: Windows Vista / 7 users can use the Start menu search box.
1. Type %appdata% and press Enter.
2. Open the Corel folder.
3. Right-click the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X# and choose Rename.
4. Change the name to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X#.old.
