I don't know where to go with this... Since I upgraded to Lion, my iMac sidebar always remembers the files I had displayed in Snow Leopard (also before I started using Dropbox.) My MacBookPro does not have this problem, and I upgraded them the same way on the same day.

No matter what I do, every time I do a restart, the Sidebar comes up with the extra old files listed and other new stuff not listed. I hold Command while removing the old and adding the new, and they stay removed until the next restart. Then they are back again. Help??

right click the item and Remove from Sidebar doesn't hold either?

None of these even show with that method. And of course the newer additions are not there either. It is more like my finder preferences are corrupted. I used to delete a corrupt preference, but with the new stuff in 10.7.4, I am a little afraid to do that. It must be that this is the leftover preference from Snow Leopard, as it does not show as corrupt in Cocktail's "Check Corrupt Preferences" search.
