Reset all DCS controller and display settings to default?

Is there a way to set DCS to have all default settings, but keep my module installations?

just rename the DCS folder at /Saved Games/, say from DCS.openbeta to DCS.openbeta.bak

Thank you. That's quite nicely designed, so I'll still keep my modules etc but it will be like I'm a new user.

Yes, and renaming the original folder, instead of just deleting it, allows you to recover items that you may want to preserve ... for example, your DCS Logbook, which contains not only your rank and medals, but also the status of any Campaign that you may have on-going, or completed, is stored on the file logbook.lua, located at /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta.bak/MissionEditor/

Other items that are usually safe to recover from the old folder, are: Custom liveries, Custom Missions, and Screenshots.
