I followed the guide here to try resolve a problem with some shortcuts not working on startup, 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\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

For both Startup and Common Startup
