You don't see the value in your app's preferences file because you haven't changed the value. Registration defaults are the baseline set of values to be used for the defaults. That is, they are the values that the program will use if there wasn't a custom value found in the user defaults.

Are values erased? If I understand things, If I set my baseline for key "X" to be "1", "X" won't be put into the prefs file until some later call changes the value (say to "2").

My followup question is: If the prefs are written with "2", then the user changes it back to "1", does Cocoa (NSUserDefaults) erase "X"'s entry in the pref file, or does it just change the entry to "1"?

Thanks!

Mark
