Just remember to know where the 'defaults write' text comes from! If you find it here, it is
usually OK, at least if you recognize the name of the poster. Might be wise to check another post from that 'person' and compare their "Posts:" number with who you think it is. As my eyes get older (almost as fast as the rest of my body), and my mind slows down (even more!), I sometimes "see" one thing and then discover it was something else! Matching/comparing "Posts:" numbers should point out an imposter!
Of course, we
always encourage asking a question! This is the only forum where I know that I can ask a "stupid" question and
not be ridiculed (too badly
)!
Search the forums with something like "defaults write" and you might find some more useful things that have been found. Just confirm what version of the OS/app they were created for. They may not be compatible in newer or older versions. It's similar to cooking, if you have a bit of training on how to use the stove/oven, you can make some great meals. That's one reason I like to just
sit,
eat, and
praise the cook!
