How can I reset settings to default in ProVide?

To reset a specific setting to its default, stop the ProVide service, open settings.ini, and delete the lines for the setting you want to reset. When you start the service again, ProVide restores the default value for anything you removed.

Step by step: #

1. Back up first. Make a copy of settings.ini (typically in your ProVide program folder) before editing, so you can restore your configuration if needed.
2. Stop the ProVide service. Changes to settings.ini are only picked up on startup, so the service must be stopped before you edit.
3. Edit settings.ini. Open it in a plain-text editor and remove the lines for the setting you want to reset. Remove only those lines, leaving the rest of the file intact.
4. Start the ProVide service. On startup, ProVide regenerates the default value for each setting you removed.

This lets you reset one setting, or a handful, without disturbing the rest of your configuration. To reset several settings at once, remove all the relevant lines in the same edit before restarting.
