I want to revert back to the default settings so I can get all the sames settings that had when I first installed Mp3Tag.

This can be achieved by deleting the Mp3tag configuration file %APPDATA%\Mp3tag\mp3tag.cfg  
You can enter %APPDATA%\Mp3tag\ at 'Start \> Run...' from the Windows start menu to directly jump to the directory.

Thanks,  
Will reinstalling it also do it because I reinstalled it?

Only if you uninstalled it and chose to let the uninstaller delete your settings.
