Resetting to default settings

Hi,

Search doesn't seem to work for me, so please forgive me if it is answered somewhere already.

My question is: is there a way to reset all settings to defaults, that show up after first install? I thought that reinstalling (and removing all ObjectDock files along the way) would do the trick, but I guess I missed some files, or those settings are stored elsewhere and I didn't find them.

Thing is I was trying to set ObjectDock to work with Dexpot 1.4 (For those unfamiliar with that software, it is virtual desktops utility for Windows). There is an option in Dexpot to start selected application when switching to selected virtual desktop, and closing that application, when leaving that desktop. I wanted to create taksbar-free virtual dekstop that way and it seemed to do the job: switching to that desktop brought ObjectDock up, while hiding taskbar, icons etc. and leaving it closed ObjectDock bringin me back to standard Windows interface.

Problem is, when I started ObjectDock next time, only tabbed dock on top of the screen was there - other docks disappeared, as if I removed them by hand.

I wanted to bring back the default settings, but as stated in the beginning of this post, don't know how. Also if there is a way to store the settings somehow (docks, their contents and position), I'd appreciate if someone enlightened me.

I use the freeloader version, not sure where it is on the plus version or what all gets saved:

 

configure dock > themes tab > back up - save current dock (really not sure how it's gonna work with multiple docks)

Ahh, thank you :) I don't know how did I miss the backup part of the configuration window <_<

I feel quite silly now, since the backup has the default config as an option. It also stores all the docks and settings, so I'm all good now, thanks again. I hope I can solve this Dexpot issue, at least I can do some testing safely :)
