It's still writable. I fear that many apps will now start saving all kinds of stuff willy-nilly into this folder, instead of with the nice structure in /Library. Sometimes one wants to save preferences at the machine domain, and kCFPreferencesAnyUser lets you do this, though you'll need to use SMJobBless() to do so. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
