All of my settings have been reset. How do I get them back?

I logged in to find EVE just as it is when you download it for the first time. None of the setting that are stored on my end are being accessed. All of my UI windows were reset, my overview has zero settings on it, all my chatrooms were closed, and all of the other changes I had made were reset.

What do I do to fix this?

-edit-
Additional info:
This happened when I logged in following a computer crash from which I had to reset. Nothing else on the computer seems affected. Also, right before this happened, I noticed something odd though probably not connected: when I minimized all of my EVE chats, it created an icon for them in the lefthand sidebar. When I restored them, the icon was still present. I could not make it go away without closing the chats. I was about to restart EVE to fix it when the computer crashed.

Set them.

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

So you want us to do it for you? GTFO. Stop whining and maintain your computer. PS - you want to change the oil in your car engine from time to time too, and check the air pressure in your tyres.

Make a habit of doing a backup of your local client settings regularly.

I was kind of hoping for a little helpful feedback, you know, cause there's no actual forum for this stuff so I posted it in general.

Try looking in here and copy to your new location (I don't know you're specific situation but I had to do this when upgrading to a new computer)

The "easier said than done" comment was a bit out of place. You present us with your problem and then don't like the answer you are offered. Net result, you run into someone like me who doesn't give a damn about your problem but cares enough to let you know what some people are thinking about your attitude. Welcome to life. If you rely on other people for help you have to take what's given. No one is going to fly over to your house to fix your computer for you, princess. You will get the answers you will get here in the forum. Some will be helpful. Some not. It's a take it or leave it deal.

Take the blood from a black bat. Place it in a rusty can. Get the teeth of a ferile cat, the bones from a roadkill chicken, and a few green huckleberries. Bring to a boil. Drink at midnight while sitting on the gravestone of a defunct rock star. Wait two days. No...wait...that's how you recover your virility. Nevermind!

We must accommodate the idiocracy.
