You can check your filesystem for Picasa.ini files (just activate show hidden items in Windows). if these Picasa-files still are there, you should be able just to reinstall Picasa and it should start with all the settings you made earlier. Picasa itself doesn´t remove the .ini files.

You might want to try the following set of instructions (found here):
Before (re)install on old system, copy/backup the c:/documents and settings//local settings/application data/Picasa2 folder
After (re)install on new system:
- Install Picasa (yes it's Picasa 3 atm but it still creates a Picasa 2 folder)
- Start Picasa and let it scan as little as possible (you don't have to wait for it to finish scanning), turn Picasa off
- Go to c:/documents and settings//local settings/application data/ and rename Picasa2 to something like Picasa2_newinstall
- Copy the old Picasa2 folder to c:/documents and settings//local settings/application data/
- Start Picasa
3Have you tried simply reinstalling it? It should just pick up the settings left behind – Ivo Flipse – 2010-04-06T12:49:05.627
