Reset Premiere Pro CC panels to default settings

As usual I have been experimenting with the window panels by switching to 1001 different layouts  and now the panels are all over the place etc , and I can't get them back in order.  I have tried    windows  > workplaces  > editing > reset to saved layout   but this is just making things worse.

How do I rest the windows layout to the factory default window settings ?

Thanks very much.

      Chisnamic: Try this...

      Close Premiere Pro.

      Go to the following location on your machine:

           In Windows, C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\

           In Mac, Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro

      Rename the 11.0 folder to Old_11.0

      Launch Premiere Pro.

      Ceate a new project (do not open old projects).

      In the menu bar, choose Window > Workspace and uncheck Import Workspace from Projects.

      Open the old project & check the issue.


      or

      Rename the "Layouts" folder in  the Documents Folder/Adobe/Premiere Pro/11.0/Profile/Layouts and relaunch Premiere Pro.

      Open Premiere while holding down shift + alt.

      If you want to make changes to a workspace dont save to this workspace but save it as a new workspace.

      If you make changes to this new one, you then can save it to this workspace.

      This way the original workspaces stay untouched.

        Here is what I think I did wrong :

        (1 ) I  created a new layout .

        (2)  Went to  editing  >  Reset to Saved layout

        So the windows are automatically resetting to the saved layout that I created ,  instead of resetting to the the factory default EDITING  window.
