Mike, thank you for confirming this is still good for XP&GDv18.5, I only have XDPXv18.0. It still worksfor that and XPro+v21.6.

I cannot confirm but would XarReg work?

Larry, no as the UI changes came far later that the last XaReg version v2.5.

Thanks Mike. I'm all good here now. I had just forgotten to close Xara down before making the registry change.

Thanks for your replies. I thought I am the only one who is weird.

Thanks Gary. This helped greatly. Every photo that I imported had smart transform clicked. For some reason the photo fill was also changed and never was changed back. Sanity returned.
