10.5: Install a hidden Archive settings preference pane

I also think it is better to just symlink the PrefPanel, since it will still be current should Apple decide to update it! To create a symlink just for your user use the following command (as usual, all in one line) ln -s /System/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.app/Contents/Resources/Archives.prefPane $HOME/Library/PreferencePanes

Uhm yes... the CMS was nice enough to remove the necessary escaping... ln -s "/System/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.app/Contents/Resources/Archives.prefPane" "$HOME/Library/PreferencePanes" definitely does the trick, even with whitespace in your path. Pepi
