[Dev-C++] Restore Dev C++ to default options/settings

[Mahmoud K. <mah...@gm...>]

Hello

I would like to reset my Dev C++ settings to the default. I tried to
uninstall and make a clean installation in a different folder, however
this did not work.

The compiler options were not reset to the default. Where are these
settings saved? and How can I restore the default settings?


Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Mahmoud

What occurs Mahmoud, is that Dev-Cpp creates initialization files in a folder that is off of "c:\documents and settings" in most installations.  Do a search
from "c:\" for the file "devcpp.ini" and once that is found, delete it and other associated Dev-Cpp files in the folder where "devcpp.ini" resides.  This should reset Dev-Cpp to it's initial post-install state.

As always I sent reply to autor only... Copy (with long lag) to the list.

Just delete/move:
devcpp.ini, devcpp.cfg and devshortcuts.cfg (if you have it)
from
<DocumentAndSettings>/<LoginName>/<LoacalSettings>/<ApplicationData>/ in
XP and <WindowsDir>/<ApplicationData>/(maybe something here) in 9x.

Maybe there is also some way to do it from Dev-c++, but I've never
searched for it.

Hello

Thanks a lot for Marcin and Alfred. Deleting devcpp.ini initialized Dev C++.
