Hi Manuella,

If you still want to dismiss the window without having to click Yes, I would suggest using an AutoHotkey script. I do this for all nagging windows I want to close automatically. For this particular window, it would look something like this:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe SDLTradosStudio.exe
#Persistent

SetTimer, Template, 1000
return

Template: ;Says "Yes" to the window that asks if you want to overwrite all settings
IfWinExist, Question, This change will overwrite all of the settings you have defined
Send y
return

If you're new to AutoHotkey, do this:

1. Download AutoHotkey from https://www.autohotkey.com › download. Install it.

2. In a folder where you would like to save your script, right-click on any empty space and select New - AutoHotkey script. Name the file.

3. Open the file you just created in a plain text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++, copy the above script and paste it into the file. Save and close the file.

4. Go to the folder where your new AutoHotkey script is saved and double-click on the file. This will load the script (make it active), you will see a little green square with a white H on it in your system tray.

After doing this, the window will be dismissed quickly as soon as it appears. The script basically monitors your computer to watch out for the window, and as soon as it appears, it sends a "y" keystroke, which closes the window.

Note that if you restart your computer, you will need to reload the script, unless you set it up to be loaded when Windows starts.

Many thanks Nora. I do use AHK for very simple things like writing emails. I will try the script that you have proposed and let you know of the outcome. Wishing you a nice day, Manuella
