Oops, I missed the replies to this. Thanks for the answers, and as for 'why?' - I'm doing a slider in OpenGL for CoverFlow (www.steelskies.com/coverflow), and am trying to match the system behaviour as closely as possible...

That's why I generally take the 'just answer the #@$# question' approach. Sure, give the standard warnings whenever they apply, but I really hate it when someone replies to say the OP shouldn't be doing it anyway without even answering how it *could* be done ... ;-)


So to sum up, the standard disclaimer is, "Don't rely on this to work in the future." and "Don't ignore/override user preferences without very good reason." etc. but the *answer* is, look in ~/ Library/.GlobalPreferences.plist and / Library/.GlobalPreferences.plist.
