I downloaded a config file for counter strike 1.6 and it changed some settings that i didn't want to change. How can i set them back to default?

If you delete the config file the game would simply create a brand new one (since Steam provides missing files prior to game starting).
If the game is not from Steam, you should try that too or simply reinstall the game if it doesn't works.
2Simple Delete your config.cfg file (in cstrike folder). Then start your CS open console and type "writecfg" without quotes. and finally your Default cfg will be written.
