# Resetting a User

You can reset the hotkeys and preferences of a user. This can be a useful step when troubleshooting user corruption issues.

NoteYou cannot reset the currently loaded user. The currently loaded user is indicated in the User box in the Preferences menu by a light blue LED to the left of its name.

To reset a user:

1. Display the User menu by doing one of the following:
   - On start-up, select the user you want to delete from the User box and then click Edit.
   - In the middle of a session, click Preferences in the EditDesk menu, select the user you want to delete from the User box, and then click Edit.
2. Select Reset User Settings from the User Edit box.
   TipTo exit the User menu without resetting the user, click Exit User.
3. Click Reset User and confirm.

   You are returned to the Project Management or Preferences menu.
