Is there a way to restore VS2010 settings?

During uninstallation of VSDocman (documentation generation plugin), all my VS settings were reset, including carefully crafted keyboard shortcuts and windows placements. And I don't have any export of these settings (had to run backups, i know....)

Is there any way to get these back? or once they are gone, they are gone forever?

Thanks

UPD: I know, I accepted the answer, but I magically found the backed up settings in C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Settings\ in Windows 7. So before the settings were deleted, VS backed them up. Very happy with this -))

Thought might share this, for future searches.

Once they're gone, they're gone forever. After you set them up, it's probably worthwhile to export your settings to a safe place for future retrieval, or if you setup on a new machine.
