Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone. You can restore all preferences to their defaults. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged.

Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on.
