Sorry, accidentally sent before I finished that one ;) The other problem with IE saving to InternetConfig prefs file is that in addition to "core" preferences that can be used by other apps, IE also saves its own IE-specific prefs. If other apps start doing the same, it's going to get even messier.
Consider that a common troubleshooting technique when an app misbehaves is to delete the app's preference file (this is still an effective technique in OS X). If IE is misbehaving because the prefs file is corrupt, and you throw it away, you not only lose all your IE prefs, but you also lose your general Internet prefs, and, worse yet, the prefs for all other Internet apps that use that preference file. This seems to me to be a major inconvenience if the problem was only a couple munged lines of xml that only applied to IE. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
