I had a look at the com.apple.internetconfig.plist file in a text editor and it struck me that since, after all, it is an everchanging entity, it would be hard to figure out at what point to start writing to it... even if one knew what to write.

Yeah, it's ugly. And I think the item you are concerned with might be a pointer to a Macintosh Toolbox AliasHandle coerced into a CFPropertyListRef format--which might not be fun to work with.


The installer question is this...

[...]

If the aliases are to be shared amongst all users on a particular machine, then I think your best choice is the "Shared" folder.

set dpath to (path to "sdat" as string) & "BunnFolder"


If the aliases are for each individual user, then "~/Library/Preferences/YourFolder" or "~/Library/Application Support/YourFolder" would be amongst the usual choices. In this case I'd opt for the Application Support:

set dpath to (path to application support as string) & "BunnFolder"
