So I was helping out another player by going over their demo with them. And now my configs are all screwed up.
I have a config.cfg file that is full of a bunch of gibberish that I never used to have. I try to delete the file and every time I launch tf2 it magically appears. Even if I disable the cloud storage it is still all screwy.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I can delete everything in the file.. set to read only, and it works that way. But that seams like a temporary fix. It is really rather frustrating atm.

never watch a POV demo without first setting it to read only :D

That's why you make back ups, man. Do what Marxist said and set POVs to read only before watching them. You can try going to your autoexec's properties and searching for an older version.

See, I never had an autoexec or a config.cfg
And now I can't even change the ones in this. It just automatically updates them back to whatever was in those demos.

Everyone has a config.cfg, it is what holds all your settings/controls. Disable Steam cloud for TF2 (right click it in Steam -> Properties -> Updates -> Uncheck Enabe Steam Cloud for TF2) then delete autoexec/config.cfg and redo your config.

Change the config.cfg file to your preferred settings and set it to read only. Everyone has a config.cfg. It serves to store all of your in-game personal settings like mouse sensitivity, interp, rates, etc. When you change these settings in-game it changes the settings in the config.cfg unless you have it set to "read only" or if you crash on exit.
If for some reason you really can't change anything, you can delete your config folder and put -autoconfig (just on the first launch) in your launch options. Everything should be at their default settings and then you can change things from there.
