I agree... it's some sort of "freeze dried" Cocoa (code), tucked into a file with a .plist extension added. That's probably why DiskWarrior (and Drive Genius) seem to think it's a corrupt plist... because it's not really a plist. [which does however make it somewhat suspicious, imo.]


So, I think I should get rid of it. Here's what I think I need to do.

1. Enter that User account and make Invisibles, visible.

2. Go to the Prefs folder and drag the suspect plist to the Trash.

3. While in this mode (Invisibles are visible), empty the Trash.

4. Make the Invisibles invisible again.

However, I wonder if I will cause a problem as another Invisible normally in the Trash will now also be gone. I was thinking about the DS_Store. Will the System software just generate a new one, the way it does with some prefs?
