Hi Max, I'm afraid this choice doesn't do what you think it does. Some time back (perhaps it was with the release with WE 7.5), the format of .set files changed internally, to allow many more options to be saved. This menu choice of "Update Outdated Settings" only converts the file formats of your ..set files on your WE profile, which happen to be in the older format.
What you want, is the "Factory Settings" menu item in the same "file" menu of WE. This will show you, one by one, if GW has released a newer factory set file for any applications you have .set files for. If a .set file is shown to be out of update, you have the option to update it, and it asks you about merging or replacing several associated files. Hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Max G.

I always get the same report: Two files processed, no files converted. Does this mean nothing neded to be updated? I assume updated sets were supplied with W.E. 8.4, though have not gone thru the whole procedure of checking and unchecking certain ones as in the past. IS there more to be done with these .000 files for a smooth W.E. experience? -- "Americans must know the basic architecture of programs designed to protect them."(Senator Franken.) Regards, Max.
