Turn off 'Fancy URLs" from outside of Admin page?

[riff_raff]

I'm hosting a GetSimple site on a windows server (winhost- never again!). I mistakenly clicked "Use Fancy URLs" in the settings page. That immediately caused an error and now I'm unable to sign back in to uncheck the Fancy URL box. So, can I change this setting outside of the Admin page? If so, how?

Here are the errors I'm getting on the login page

Code:

Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 5: parser error : Entity 'nbsp' not defined in E:\web\therocka\admin\inc\basic.php on line 258 Warning: simplexml_load_string():  </div>

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks

a "radical solution":

you could run a new installation and save data, theme and plugin-directory before ...

backup the /data/other/website.xml file, edit it, and change:
<PRETTYURLS>1</PRETTYURLS> to <PRETTYURLS></PRETTYURLS>

Thanks for the suggestion yojoe. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me.

That is where it is stored, I do not think that is your problem though.

I think your user data or config is corrupt.
Its failing to load your user information, did you somehow put a space in your username ?
Or your website file is corrupt.
