Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining a user of a computing device who is likely to be unsatisfied with a value of a setting of a program running on the computing device. First information is collected about the value of the setting from a first population of users who invoke a routine to automatically reset the value of the setting to a default value. Second information is collected about the value of the setting from a second population of users who do not invoke the routine. Based on a comparison of the first information and the second information, a determination is made that a user in the second population is likely to be unsatisfied with the value of the setting.
