<h3 class="fn"><a name="resetGroup"></a><span class="type">void</span> QSettings::<span class="name">resetGroup</span> ()</h3>
<p>Sets the current group to be the empty string.</p>
<p>Use <a href="qsettings.html#endGroup">endGroup</a>() instead (possibly multiple times).</p>
<p>For example, if you have code like</p>

...
settings.resetGroup();</pre>
<p>you can rewrite it as</p>

<p>For example, if you have code like</p>
<pre class="cpp"> QSettings settings;

<p>you can rewrite it as</p>
