A lot of people will not know how to access the preferences file.

	Click on the McIntosh HD icon on your desktop
	In the Finder window command line click on GO, this will bring up a drop down box.
	Near the bottom of the box you will find "Go To Folder"
	The folder you want to got to is "/Users/<username>/Library Preferences"
	Use caution at this point as there are a number of Elecraft files out there.
	Look for "K3UtilPrefs" and P3UtilPrefs"
	These are the files to delete based on whether you are having trouble with the K3Utility or P3Utility.
	
These files and folders are normally hidden from view. If you wish to just navigate to the files using the finder, you can un-hide the files by doing the following.

	CAUTION: THESE FILES ARE HIDDEN FOR A PURPOSE. UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY COMFORTABLE WITH THE OS, I AM SURE APPLE WOULD RATHER YOU NOT DO THIS. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MODIFYING, ADDING OR DELETING.

	In the Utilities folder: Open Terminal.
	At the prompt $ type the following:
		"defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
	Press <return> to execute.

	To "re-hide" the files and folders:
	Again open Terminal.
	At the prompt $ type the following:
		"defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
	Press <return> to execute
