Thats not completely correct modifying the preferences file directly or
deleting it can take a while for the user defaults process to pick up the
change, but you can force the user defaults process to pick up the changes with
killall cfprefsd
it can be a little bit complicated sometimes and the process can write out
changes before you kill it, so sometime you have to kill make you change and
then kill again.
