16. Save Settings Wizard: now QuickDesk correctly saves/restores registered databases information.

17. Fixed bug with creation of new procedure if the user enters procedure name using mixed case without quotes e.g. Some_Procedure

18. Environment Options -> Windows: in the previous version options the "Restricted By MainForm" option worked as the "Restricted By MainForm and DB Explorer" option and vise versa. It is fixed now.
