So I created a new user and I have my window borders back. However I would really like to fix this problem because I spent an enormous amount of time customizing my desktop...is there any way I could maybe do a default setting reset type of thingy for this particular user in kde?

Try renaming first one, and if that does not make a difference, also the second file. Both contain the KWin settings:

Once it works, compare the newly created file(s) with the originals which you renamed. Perhaps you'll find out which setting caused this.

Thank you Alien Bob I opted to backing up the .kde folder and then deleting so to created another, I had done this just before your post..not sure if this was the right thing to do but I got my borders back ..once again Thank you so much for helping me I know your time is precious!
