Ok, even a Mac OS X users have to learn their system (at least the basic things), so here is the answer to my question.

~/Library/Preferences - MAC OS X analog of Windows registry HKCU
/Library/Preferences - MAC OS X analog of Windows registry HKLM

Every key is located in it's own file. These files can be easily altered by means the OS commands (e.g. plutil can convert them into XML files and back to binaries). You can also use a special software (e.g. resource knife) to do it without converting.

Also type "defaults" in the Darwin's terminal.
Yeah, that's useless to me. I know how to ditch old prefs, that's about all I can think of that applies to what you just said.

So now tell me, can you take a bunch of random musical instruments like, Cello, Violin, Flute, Drums, Bass, and maybe a little Guitar and a handful of vocals & sound effects, and compose an original kick ass soundtrack from scratch in two days that's worthy of money? Because I can.
