Sometimes information like that is stored in the "Saved Preferences"
database. You could try deleting it from both your desktop and
your handheld and see what happens. (Normally, I'd never suggest
deleting this database, but since it sounds like it's already
getting clobbered anyway, it doesn't seem like that big a deal
in this case.)
