It's the same as deleting xnview.ini, is it really needed?

But definitelly with confirmation dialog, or/and removed options could be saved to file, e.g. xnview.ini.bak. Otherwise, when new user change all settings and he wants to check also this one (bad translation or bad english), he could lost all settings!
