Using the Preference Editor with Preference Manifests
Workgroup Manager includes a preference editor, which you can use to control any
Mac OS X application or utility developed using Apple standard conventions for
handling preferences.

Manager main preferences interface.
As with the main preferences interface, you can use the preference editor to manage
