No, I think it's still bad: "Reset" is too strong a word -- it doesn't make it clear that a save step will subsequently be required (especially for users used to the old behavior). If there are other bad uses, they should be changed too, of course. How about "Get standard values", and "Get saved values"? -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
