Hi, I must reply to your critics on my 'whish':

I only speak of the settings notebook. An indeed, if there are no common pages
with the same settings, then there has to be an empty notebook or a message
windows telling me that there are no common entries. Same for the DOS-settings.

This should be a tool for simultaneously changing settings for more than one
similar objects to the same settings. 

Unchanged settings should be unchanged. :-)

Not only for icons, also for DOS-Settings ect...

I personaly prefer a GUI action to a comandline action, but best would be to
provide a commandline action for each GUI action and vice versa.

This feature would be object-orientated, intuitive, and would spare a lot of time.
(think of changing the DOS-settings from 120 new programs from the default to
your favorite setting)
