Most apps modify the Library folder inside your home folder. Since I always backup my home folder, when I restore it, everthing works as before. There are some applications that will modify the main /Library folder but I deal with them manually. I have maybe 2 or 3 of those, so it's not a problem. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] flamage /flay'm*j/ n.: [very common] Flaming verbiage, esp. high-noise, low-signal postings to Usenet or other electronic fora.
