Did you log out/in or restart after trashing the file? Normally, that would regenerate a new, pristine plist.
It would help if you told us which OS you are using, plus information about which Mac you have.
Welcome to FTM and let us know what happens! Good luck to you. Someone here ought to be able to help.
