Resetting Photoshop Defaults
I really messed up my setting in Photoshop CS3. My paint bucket was no longer a paint bucket but a cross-haired cursor. To correct this I held down Alt+Ctrl+Shift as I started Photoshop. This will bring up the dialog box as shown below and ask if you want to "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Setting File". Selecting yes will reset all your preferences in the program. You will have to go and reset any preferences you have setup but it is a quick way to get Photoshop back to the basics. I had to try it a couple times to get the box to appear.
For more advanced users other options are available.
