I was thinking of that, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. With the dictionary-per-monitor your suggesting, I guess I would have to do something like this: NSDictionary *monitor_dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: displayname, defaultsForMonitor, nil ]; // where defaultsForMonitor is an ancillary dictionary [defaults registerDefaults: monitor_dict]; NSDictionary * monitor_user_defaults = [defaults dictionaryForKey: displayname]; NSNumber * pref1num = [monitor_user_defaults valueForKey: @"Pref1"]; real_pref1_ = [pref1num intValue]; I.e., I don't get the nice NSUserDefaults machinery. Plus, it's all or nothing, I can't have some preferences defined by the user and some from the defaults. Best regards, Gabriel
