Hello Anne,
Thanks for your help on this one. I repaired permissions, and the PRAM,
and finally went looking for the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file.
There are many .plist files in the library folder, but not that
one. The system is set to show all files, I think, anyway I doubt
I'd see some plists, and not the one I need to see. This is the
devil's work.
A significant number of files were altered when repairing permissions
was run, I don't understand the unix file flags so I don't know if
there was a common problem fixed over a group of files. I would have
expected to see the
com.apple.systempreferences.plist file after a reboot if that file is
generated at startup.
I understand that you can drop the com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file in place if that's needed.
Anybody fancy sending me this file? I should be able to modify this
for my own preffs.
Just a wild thought.
BTW this new Mini has no dvd/cd writer reader, and no support data
was supplied. Aparently the mini is no longer built with a cd drive,
because everything is downloaded on to it or installed from a firewire drive.
Have a good sunday.

Am I widely off the mark here?
.
I carried out the three tasks, the first 2, went just fine, but no
change in saving system prefs. Locating the library and apple.com.system.plist
