URLM with Safari 3.2.1 .. all of a sudden

1) I use URLM to save bookmarks to Safari .. a "URL Manager Pro" item then appears under "Bookmarks" in the sidebar after I select "Show All Bookmarks" (Cmd-Option B). Everything is okay so far.

2) But, then I drag that "URL Manager Pro" item up to the Bookmarks Bar and "URL Manager Pro" is added ... but with a square icon following the text, rather than a hierarchial downward-pointing triangle as it should.

3) This strange happening is more than just cosmetic because if I just single-click it all the hundreds of my bookmarks open in separate tabs .. rather than a drop down hierarchial menu showing as it should.

I have trashed "Safari.plist" file in my Preferences folder

I have logged in as another user and everything works just dandy and have rebooted onto my external drive and everything works fine also.

That is why I thought there was a problem with "Safari.plist" file .. but that approach did not work.

As I said, I really need some help here.

I really need some help here - johnlove

I found the answer to my own problem.

I deleted ~Library/Safari which deletes all my Bookmarks from Safari (not from URLM).

Restarted Safari and all the default Apple, Yahoo, etc. bookmarks appeared in the Safari Toolbar. I deleted all these. Then, selected "Show all Bookmarks" under the Bookmarks Menu. Next, selected "Imported IE Favorites" under which showed my "URL Manager Pro" folder (this was the result of URLM's "Save to Browser..." command). Finally, dragged that beast to my empty Toolbar.

Wallah .. the elusive hierarchial downward-pointing triangle icon appeared.

All is well.
