You can set everything back to defaults by wiping out your .emacs
file. If you were using customize, you can click `Erase Customization'.

What type of code are you writing? Are you using a certain major mode?
If not, you should. Have you tried customizing the settings for that
particular mode? - i.e., for Perl mode try M-x customize-group RET
perl RET

If you want quick, my advice is just get used to it the way it is.

There's also a Manual. I'm fairly new to emacs, but the time I've
invested learning it has been well worth the effort.
