Maybe a cache problem? Caches are various files of generated data that 
the system saves to speed up repeated actions, so they might not be 
named obviously to correspond to any specific program. There are 
system-wide caches, which seem unlikely to be the issue here (since the 
program works from another user account) and also caches in each user's 
  Library directory.

The X Lab (www.thexlab.com) has lots of sound and well written Mac 
repair and maintenance advice. Here's their "Resolving Disk, Permission, 
and Cache Corruption" page:

Maybe that could help.

On the other hand, it is not clear to me which sorts of things Spotlight 
actually finds -- on a test Leopard system the other day I was looking 
for a specific preference file, and Spotlight gave me _zero_ results for 
"com.apple", and then I tried the Finder's Find command for "File names 
beginning with com.apple" and also got zero, though there are obviously 
many of these files. I don't know if they made Spotlight stupider with 
Leopard, or maybe it doesn't index the library folders, or hadn't had 
time to index everything yet, or perhaps there was some other glitch, 
but for now I'm not sure I trust Spotlight as the best way to find files.

Anyway, that's a long way of saying that it may be worth manually 
looking through your home/Library folder and its subfolders for 
WebDesign items.

(Does anyone have details on what Spotlight finds, and if this has 
changed with Leopard?)

Good luck.
