Chessbase software uses .ini files for such settings. The one which controls the
tablebases is chssbase.ini located in the windows folder. If you run into
tablebase related problems, rename or delete that file and the software will
make a new one automatically. Otherwise, it might work simply to close then
restart the GUI and/or your computer.
