assuming you're on windows, go to the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<YourUsername>\Application Data\Ableton\Live 5.2\Preferences\

there just delete or at least rename the file "Preferences.cfg" which contains all settings (also the path to your VST folder now set to c:\).

before you can find that folder you have to set explorer to show hidden files and folders.
