I change settings a lot. Now, I think I've played with Notepad++ too much. Now how can I reset the settings ?
btw, I don't want to uninstall, then install again. that's not so "superuser"-ish, right?
The easiest way to reset to defaults would probably be to delete the configuration files. This also means you can back them up if you ever want them back.
Notepad++ uses the follwowing path for settings using a default installation settings:
%APPDATA%\Notepad++
In that directory there are several .xml
configuration files. Remove the ones you want to reset and restart Notepad++.
Go to
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\notepad++
(type your username instead of "Administrator" in the above path)
Delete the file "stylers.xml".
Restart Notepad++
%appdata%
makes life all of us easier ;)

It is easy to do using the following steps:
Just in case someone has the same issue as me: If you have a Backupfolder set up in Options you have to delete the files mentioned above from that folder!
$env:APPDATA/Notepad++/cloud/choice

The following worked for me to remove all color styling:
If during installation you decided to don't use %APPDATA%, configuration xml files will be in notepad++ installation directory. This is frequent 4USB installation profile.
just backup config.xml and than erase it to bring defaults back..
