I find myself constantly resetting my Safari Home page. It automatically resets to the apple homepage whenever I quit Safari or restart my computer. Not a big deal, but kind of annoying..

Safari Home page resetting

Try: Quit Safari. Quit Entourage. Launch Safari. Change home page. Quit Safari. continue & see if change sticks.
Reason: When Entourage quits, it resets Safari's Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist preferences to what they were when Entourage was launched - often negating a home page change.

Amusingly, the problem is even worse with Internet Explorer: IE not only stores its home page in that file, it keeps its other preferences there, and it keeps all its cookies in there. This results in a mysterious "Lost cookies" problem: You use IE to, e.g., logon to MacWorld Forums. MacWorld remembers you with a cookie. You log out, Entourage quits and writes over all IE's new cookies. You come back the next day, MacWorld wants you to log in again. This usually manifest itself in the complaint, "Why can't Macworld remember me from one day to the next?" when the real question is "Why can't Entourage keeps its hands off my cookies?" It's particularly pernicious for those of us who launch Entourage when they login and leave it running until they log out. (The eternal sunshine of the spotless cookies.)
