[Dx4win] Confirmations

[Mel]

As Jim suggested, it seems you inadvertently set the wrong flag when you 
imported from LotW. If you could identify when... you could at least 
identify which range of cards were affected.

I'm not even sure why there is an option to set the confirmed flag when 
importing... any idea Jim?
