If you start in safe mode you should be able to ask the computer to reload itself, that is, the earlier settings - it will, I'm afraid, depend rather on the machine as to what you have to do ...
Alternative, did you have an antivirus-recovery programme installed (Norton &c)? If so, you should be able to reboot and reinstall your original settings (although when this happened to me Norton failed - one of the reasons I use AVG now).
Hopefully someone else can give you more constructive advice .....
Good luck, Paul
