Title: Mysterious Preferences File
I was looking at my Preferences folder this morning, when I noticed some preference files that weren't supposed to be there. I know they shouldn't be there because the applications in question are mine. They are all bundled applications, and I didn't write any code for a preference .plist file in them. I'm curious as to how they got there. Anyone know?

For example, one of the files is Convert Audio.plist. Convert Audio uses iTunes to convert audio files. The .plist file is ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
      <key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFolder:0:HomeDirectoryPath</key>
    <string>file://~/Desktop/</string>
      <key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFolder:0:Path</key>
<string>file://localhost/Users/lutherfuller/Desktop/</string>
   <key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFolder:0:Position</key>
     <data>
  AN4Ayg==
        </data>
<key>AppleNavServices:ChooseFolder:0:Size</key>
<data>
  AAAAAAFvAjA=
    </data>
<key>AppleRecentFolders</key>
   <array>
        <string>file://localhost/Users/lutherfuller/Desktop/</string>
   </array>
        <key>NavPanelPreferredColumnContentWidth</key>
  <integer>170</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
