Is there a way to completely reset Photoshop to its "factory" settings? I have doinked it up so bad that it's driving me crazy.

To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.

Another option is to uninstall, use the Cleaner Tool, and then reinstall:

The other way is in Photoshop > Settings under the General tab select "Reset Preferences on Quit".
