It always runs as the user who launched it. How are you trying to read preferences? If you're using NSUserDefaults, that won't work. Since you're inside the System Preferences.app, NSUserDefaults reads the preferences for com.apple.systempreferences. If you want to read/write the preferences for your app, use the CoreFoundation CFPreferences API. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFPreferences/CFPreferences.html> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
