I guess I'll have to recreate my preferences again. I *hate* doing that. I just hope the problem doesn't keep coming back.
Do you have to recreate ALL of them?
Funny, I'm sloppy about backing up other things, but I make frequent backup copies of my preference file, especially when I'm messing around with settings. If something goes wrong, I just find the file from a few weeks back and start from there. Usually there's only a couple of things I've changed since then and I can remember what they were.
I too have "Save Preferences on Quit" turned off, but I still found myself occasionally going places I didn't like and wanting to get back.

P.S. Curiously, in a recent bad crash experience not long ago -- Darcy knows this story -- I managed to lose ALL of my computer's preferences, because that was a folder I had foolishly neglected to back up. Finale's was the one preference file I *didn't* lose, because I had it backed up elsewhere.
