Gang, something weird has happened ... And I bet it is all my fault .. I had maxed out my HD space and I closed down all apps since I wanted to clean up nicely .. And I recall that at least photoshop told me something about "cannot save prefs" ... Ok .. Had that before .. Means I have to re-adjust it later, once I have space again ... Ok .. But now that I have 2GB of space back ... My iBook cannot make any new memories !!! MSIE keeps asking me EVERY time if it can be default browser, even though I click "No" and "never dare ask me again".. And other apps react similar .. Snapping back into default as soon as I turn around ... I have a feeling there is some screwed pref database which I have to "shoot free" ?? Well .. I have no clue ... I heard that "trashing prefs" was a common thing in OS9 ... So .. Is there help ? Thanks P
