The 'layer settings' appear to have lots more layers than v17 and almost all have a 6 digit alpha numeric prefix.
Please would you let me know if I have installed v18 wrong or is this a new 'feature'?

Another Archicad v18 Solo user that I know is having the same problem, so I'm assuming this is a bug or possibly a new feature??

I am assuming that it is a new feature that is coming from the Template file you are using when starting a new project.
You can create a new project and check if there is any other Template file you can choose for it to be based on.
Or, you can open the AC17 Template file in AC18, and save it as a Template. Then you will have that Template, too, available for new projects.

I've just been told it's a new Archicad v18 'feature'!
I'm sure the layer names have changed for a very good reason, but I must admit I'm finding it a bit of a pain to work with at the moment.

I don't recommend that anyone other than a completely new user use the out-of-the-box template (which is where those layer names are) ... and then, only for learning.
Your template should be customized to make you efficient. What layers and settings, sheets, masters, pre-linked drawings work for one practice may not be the right ones for another.
As you continue to work in AC, your most recent project is probably (should be) your best in terms of software usage... and so it should then become the basis for your template for your next project. Etc. The layers and other settings you know and love will move forward with you.
Starting fresh each time with a basic template delivered with the product is a sure guarantee for lower productivity and some frustration.
As Laszlo suggested... open your most recent 17 project in 18 - or the 17 template - and let that become your template.
