The link below should help but note that if you only want to restore certain
security settings use the /area switch. In such case you could specify
filestore and regkeys for your purpose. --- Steve

Sample Command to Reset Security Settings
NOTE: After security settings are applied, you cannot undo the changes
without restoring from a backup. If you are uncertain about resetting your
security settings back to the default security settings, you must make a
complete backup that includes the "System State" (the registry files). Items
that are reset include NTFS file system files and folders, the registry,
policies, services, privilege rights, and group membership.
To reset your operating system back to original installation default
security settings: 1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press
ENTER.
2. Type secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db
secsetup.sdb /verbose, and then press ENTER. You receive a "Task is
completed" message, and a warning message that something could not be done.
You can safely ignore this message. For more information about this message,
view the %windir%\Security\Logs\Scesrv.log file.
/areas AreaName1AreaName2... Specifies the security areas to be applied to
the system. The default is "all areas." Each area must be separated by a
space.
