Setting every option back to default?

I wanna reset ever color pallet, checkbox, action, workspace, setting name of every and option to the default values. Because i wanna create a short and quick tutorials for PS to get people more into creating their art and illustration with PS as i remember when i started out with PS i was kinda lost and my first place was google/youtube where i found some actual guides helping me. But i noticed that a lot of them are certainly not up for modern YouTube standards or viewing styles which we now appreciate as normal or up-to date. With each video being arround a length of 3 minutes focusing on just a particular thing kinda like Piximperfects "effect in 1 minute video" format if someone wants to know what i wanna go for here.

TL;DR Just wanna make a guide for beginners!

So my first question would be, how do i reset everything to it's base values? I don't need a backup of any of my configurations made I dont have anything yet in the cloud saved of much importance such as work for customers or special brushes, or color-samples, so i'm sure i don't need to backup any option.

TL;DR How do i reset everything?

Second question how should i name the YT format to be up to modern standards and being easily recognizable and unique. Without having to break conventional stuff as a short and catchy title and keeping interest high in my tutorial and the information i try to submit with it.

TL;DR Need a catchy title.

Thanks for any replies.

You will find reset preferences at the bottom of the preference panel (ctrl-k on windows or cmd-k on mac)

Hi.

I have the very same wish as I've managed to close the work panes and in a desperate bid to rerieve them I've altered far too many settings.

I've even uninstalled the program and re-installed it and it remains the same.

I followed the ctrl k instructions and have found the preferences section but the only option I have is to "reset all warning dialogues" which I have done to no effect.

I am using CS6 Extended Education Edition.

Many Thanks

Albert

It wasn't in the Preferences dialog back then. That came with one of the CC versions.

In the old days you had to press ctrl+alt+shift while launching the application. It takes simultaneous operation of a large proportion of your fingers. If you don't get a confirmation dialog, you didn't do it right and you need to try again.

Thank you so much!

I might need a new cricket bat but I'll try that when I get home.

Cheers

Albert.
