How to reset AppleWin back to the default settings:
<br>
.po floppy image doesn't boot and may crash to the monitor.
<ul>
<li>Within the AppleWin install folder there is the file: DELREG.INF.</li>
<li>Try renaming with a ".do" or ".dsk" extension.</li>
<li>Or you can use a utility like CiderPress to convert them to proper .po disks and then they will work correctly in emulators and with ProDOS block devices.</li>
<li> Details:</li>
<ul>
<li>Windows 10/11: From Explorer, right click on this file, then select: Install</li>
<li>".do" and ".po" specify a specific order.</li>
<li>These non-booting .po images are with DOS-order sectors.</li>
</ul>
<li>This will remove all AppleWin configuration from the Registry.</li>
