I know that the Mac don't have a registry like windows, but is there way to save program information in a place on the Mac where only the program has access to it and not prying eyes?

Some might recommend using invisible files, but for myself I find it disturbing when I discover hidden files apps have written to my drive, and none of mine do that sort of thing.


And remember that with the Windows Registry things are also wide open -- just do Run->regedit and the world is yours.

Maybe better would be to hide data in custom props in a stack file that's also used as a critical part of the program. That way, unlike a standard Prefs file, if it's deleted the app won't run.

In order to have permissions to save the stack file you'll want to use the Preferences or Application Support folders.

Can custom props keep things like registry keys for all the programs to use. One key opens all the programs.
