Help! Need to do a hard reset on a touch

[Mr_wrong_0]

Is there any way to do a hard reset to a touch without going through the menus. What I mean is, I need a way to wipe it back to the rom if it won't boot into windows. I installed a dialer program that must have a conflict with another program, because when I start the device it goes through the booting screens but then when it gets to loading your settings it gets the little rainbow wheel that means it's thinking and before it can finish loading it freezes and won't do anything. No number of soft resets has helped neither has taking the battery out. I need to re flash the rom but it won't sync to active sync so I don't know how esle to wipe it. Please help.
