If you want to be lazy here's a bridge script to reset/revert PS-prefs.

#target bridge

var Selection=0;

if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {

newMenu = new MenuElement( "menu", "Useful Tools", "after Help", "myMenu" );

RPP = new MenuElement( "command", "Reset Photoshop Preferences", "at the end of myMenu","myAlert" );

Reset = new MenuElement( "command", "Revert Photoshop Preferences", "at the end of myMenu" );

};

RPP.onSelect = function () {

Selection = 0;

if (!BridgeTalk.isRunning("photoshop")){

startPhotoshop();

var Prefs =getPrefFolder();

}else{

Prefs =getPrefFolder();

}

};

Reset.onSelect = function () {

Selection = 1;

if (!BridgeTalk.isRunning("photoshop")){

startPhotoshop();

var Prefs =getPrefFolder();

}else{

Prefs =getPrefFolder();

}

};

function resetPrefs(Prefs){

while(BridgeTalk.isRunning("photoshop")){

$.sleep(100);

}

var PrefFolder = new Folder(Prefs);

var file = PrefFolder.getFiles ('Adobe Photoshop*.psp');

var bak = new File(decodeURI(file[0]).slice(0,-4) + '.bak');

var bakup = file[0].name.slice(0,-4) + '.bak';

var pref = file[0];

if(pref.exists && !bak.exists && Selection == 1) alert("Sorry no backup file exists");

if(pref.exists && bak.exists && Selection == 1){

pref.remove();

bak.rename(pref.name);

}

if(pref.exists && bak.exists && Selection == 0) {

bak.remove();

pref.rename(bakup);

}

if(pref.exists && !bak.exists && Selection == 0) {

pref.rename(bakup);

}

if (!BridgeTalk.isRunning("photoshop")) startPhotoshop();

};

function closePhotoshop(){

var btMessage = new BridgeTalk;

btMessage.target = "photoshop";

btMessage.body = ("cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };"+

"executeAction(cTID('quit'), new ActionDescriptor(), DialogModes.NO);");

btMessage.send();

};

function startPhotoshop(){

BridgeTalk.launch("photoshop");

};

function getPrefFolder(){

var bt = new BridgeTalk;

bt.target = "photoshop";

bt.body = "function a(){var theFiles = app.preferencesFolder.fsName;return theFiles}a();";

bt.onResult = function( retObj ) {

closePhotoshop();

resetPrefs(retObj.body.toString());

}

bt.send();

};
