subject says it all.
was going to just clear the cache but hit reset.
all of my opened tabs are gone, history is gone, autofil URL is gone.
Ive got Time Machine running -- but not sure where the file resides to restore? Or if I even can?
TIA

Well hell, that was easier than I thought.
thanks cbelt.
did just as it said -- went to users/jdc/libray/safari -- selected the history, last session and top sites plist and restored from last night, 2:52 am.
restarted safari, reopen all windows from last session... done. =)

Yay Time Machine. Another positive for Time Machine. Too bad the score is like 3 to 20 in good results versus problems. Granted not a lot of people post when they deleted a file or had a drive fail and TM works....

"Reset" commands like this need a "Molly Guard", the software equivalent of the device invented by IBM because a little girl by the name of Molly managed to hit the Big Red Switch not once, but twice in one day.
A simple popup saying "Do you really want to reset Safari? Really?" would do nicely.

eustace, I just learned something new, thanks to you. I'd never heard that story. I always called them "safety covers"... most of my early engineering experience with them involved things that go 'boom'.
Molly is probably in her 30's by now... I wonder if she knows this story.
