I downloaded some additional File Formats for BC3, however when importing them I unfortunately checked the box that says "Delete all existing formats".

How do I get back all the File Formats I had that were supported with my original BC3 install?

Simply reinstalling BC3 did not work.

To reset your file formats to the default settings, open the folder "%appdata%\scooter software\beyond compare 3\". Rename the file BCFileFormats.xml to BCFileFormats.old. The next time you run Beyond Compare 3, it will recreate the default file formats.
