I followed the guide here to change the window padding in Windows 10, but forgot to create a backup of those registry keys, and now want to revert the change. Is there a way to see the default, preset values for registry keys, specifically the ones under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

The default values for the changed values in WindowMetrics are below:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"CaptionHeight"="-330"
"CaptionWidth"="-330"
"CaptionFont"=hex:f4,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,\
00,00,00,01,00,00,05,00,53,00,65,00,67,00,6f,00,65,00,20,00,55,00,49,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"ScrollWidth"="-255"

On another W10 pc export the WindowMetrics key using regedit, then merge it into the problem PC
or copy the text below into a text file and save, then rename the extension .txt to .reg, the right click on it and select merge.

I found the solution I was looking for. See my posted answer. – Starwarswii – 2015-08-10T00:43:57.677
Those settings are different from my install of W10, glad you solved it. – Moab – 2015-08-11T21:46:52.233
