How to reset a text tuner for a WIN8 system

ClearType's role is to make the text on the screen easier to read, many friends after the adjustment is not satisfied with the effect, want to reset back, found that do not know how to restore. Through small series of research found that many online solutions are not practical, through testing, only by modifying the registry two locations to achieve the purpose of resetting ClearType settings. Here's a look at how to reset.

What we need to do is to click on each Displayx key and remove all key values (except the key value "default") on the right. The normal ClearType tuning should look like this:

2. Go to the registry Hkcucontrol Paneldesktop, below, find four key values that begin with fontsmoothing and set to 2,0,1,2 respectively.
