move rather than delete?
Authored by: mervTormel on Nov 16, '02 08:51:30AM


a better technique is to rename it in place so that it:

a) doesn't loose context

b) isn't found by name by the apps

e.g.:

rename ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Registration Cache X

to ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Registration Cache X.disabled

worked here. a new file was created on launching excel, .disabled file remains.

this technique works for just about everything since unix is based on files and file names
