I second this notion, although I'm lazy and just create it right next to the application. That way there's no issue of the user being able to find it, as long as they can find the application. The advantage/disadvantage is that with the file in the system preferences, any copy of the application will use the same preferences. I have code that does it local to the application that I'd be happy to post, although it's not particularly documented. But it's only about ten lines. regards, Geoff
