How to reset to default cleartype settings???

I'm new to Vista and all ready messed it up :-(

The cleartype factory setting was actually very good, but as the geek I
am I thought that I could improve it by using the Microsoft online
cleartype tuner.... I was wrong - I've tried all the possible 16
settings but none of them worked very weel and now I can't find a way to
reset my cleartype to factory setting - please help!

Thanks
Ole

Hello Ole,

You should still be able to adjust them back using the normal method in Vista. This tutorial will help show you how to if needed.

ClearType Font Settings

Hope this helps,

Found the setting from a fresh installed Vista PC - the factory setting
of the "fontsmoothinggamma" parameter is 0
