How To Reset Skyrim Settings To The Default
I'd like to rest the settings to the defaults that were computed when I first launched the game, but don't know how to do it. Thanks.

What settings? Do you mean from the launcher?
If so, go to your my documents/my games/skyrim folder path and delete skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini and run the game and it should generate fresh ones.
If you dont mean that you will need to provide more info

delete ini files all 3 of them found in mygames/skyrim folder then relaunch the game

Yes, the original settings determined by the launcher. I'll delete those two files now and relaunch the game. Thanks.

that is the only place where game stores ini files and save files. where are your save files by the way do you know ?? ini files will be there too. if you don't know about that too then search for skyrim.ini in your computer.

okay, thanks. i will try to find it

Will deleting the ini files affect your mods?

the ini's will regenerate after starting skyrim again from the launcher
