Good Day! I would like to ask how can you reset the color of text that contains hyperlinks to its original color in the Internet Explorer?Normally, when you click the text that contains links from a website, it will change from blue to violet/marooncolor; and when you visit it again later, the color of the said text does not reset. Please help and greatly appreciate your replies.

You get rid of the changed colors by getting rid of all the cached files. So essentially, your browser thinks it is visiting a new page.

Tools --> Internet Options --> (go to the Temporary Internet Files section about the middle of the generaltab) and Delete Files.

If I understand what you want to do, is that you want the links on a web page to look like they did the first time you visited the page (blue).

To do this, you need to clear all cookies for the web page.
Using Tools, internet options, general, clear cookies will clear all of your cookies.
In IE 6, on the privacy tab, you can set IE to not accept any cookies, or to block cookies from specicic sites.

Note: some sites save cookies for visitors. So even if you delete your cookies, they know who you are, and know that you visited before, and it's the same as if you still had the cookie on your system.
