[QUOTE="jonezy, post: 269624, member: 21662"] Thanks for that, I now know what has caused this to happen. Somewhere along the line I messed with my home folder and changed its name or did something which created a second folder with a variation of my name in the user folder, even though there was not a second account set up. I then started using safari, not realising what I had done. Then safari hung and I forced quit it and shut it down. When it re-started, it used this second folder I had created and ignored all preferences in my home folder which had the effect of me thinking they had been wiped. The only prob is I now have this second folder sitting there but am afraid to delete it incase I create problems again. Any advice on what I should do? I am happy with the way everything is set up now and am wondering if I should just leave it lone. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
