    Resetting Cura to default settings

    I'm being forced to use Cura for several prints that PronterFace can't do. I've made a few changes to the settings and I want to go back to the default settings for Cura. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing an option to do that, but I can't find it. I've been going down every menu option and reading every line, but I can't find it. And of course, the Cura documentation doesn't seem to want to help me with this either. I've even tried uninstalling Cura and re-installing it. That doesn't get me back to the default settings.

    Does anybody know off hand how I can get Cura back to the default settings?

    On Linux it is in:
    ~/.cura/"version number"

    The file 'version' just holds the current Cura version number. On my system it shows as: 15.04.05

    So... That isn't the right file! Do you have any more suggestions?

    Inside 15.04.05 there are three files. current_profile.ini mru_filelist.ini and preferences.ini

    Search your hard disc for those files.

    I only have up to 15.04.04 so perhaps somethign changed.

    Thanks Mjolinor!!! I found the files. They were buried in \\Windows\Users\user-name\.cura\Cura15.04.05\*.ini

    That . stuff on file names is a real nuisance. I don't like it when they hide files by doing that!
