Nope. The system will not look in the trash for a file it needs. This is very odd. I am not aware of any other place where the Finder keeps those preferences. Just for kicks and grins, try creating a new account and then log into it. Does that sidebar show you the same file? If so, then it is so

The file should be in the /Library/Preferences folder of your home group. Use the Finder to see if it's there. I guess it may be different depending on which version of OS X you are using. I would be VERY careful trying to edit any plist file with Textedit. They used to be straight text files b
