Patent 7346634 was granted and assigned to Microsoft on March, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Systems and methods are provided for undoing, redoing or rolling back a configuration setting change for an application. Application configuration information related to the setting change can be received and stored by a log, wherein a history of the configuration setting changes for the application can be maintained. The system can also display the history of changes made for viewing and selecting. When a user wishes to revert a configuration setting back to a previous one, the user can select the desired setting for reversion and a call to a reversion routine can be made. At least a portion of the application information may then be passed to the reversion routine for reverting to the application's previous configuration setting.
