Re: reset all preferences

2011-07-07 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
That's not a good idea.  I dono that I'd try that.  Your preferences folder 
has lots of system library files in it as well.  You stand a good chance of 
really! crashing your O S doing that.

Hello Christopher,

For some reason, I always thought one could completely reset all 
preferences on a Mac by deleting the preferences folder.


Now keep in mind that I came by this idea back when OS 8 was the big 
thing.


So, in no way am I suggesting that you do this but I'm hoping that more 
experienced users on the list will either confirm or correct this notion.


I use a program called Superduper to keep a complete clone of all the 
particians on my Mac.


Good Luck,

Mark

Hi!

I guess you only can do one of 2 things:
1. Reinstall your Mac
2. Restore your mac from a backup.
Best regards
Thomas

My question is why you want to do that in the first place.  That's kind a 
barbaric.
