preferences.cfg disappeared on mac

I'm using Live 7 on a MBP with OSX with no problems up to now recently
I changed the vst folder in the setup. Still made music for a few hours with no problems.
I closed Live and when I opened it again (with a default track with vst's on) he said he couldn't locate my vst's anymore. All folders were reset and closed. In Setup I located the folder again as before.
But every time I close Ableton, he resets it all to zero and can't find the vst folders.
Some research made me clear I had to try deleting the preferences folder.
Well I can't find that anywhere. I used the path for Mac OS X: /User/Library/Preferences/Ableton
but there is no "Ableton" folder in my "Preferences" folder. Even using the Spotlight gets me no return on finding this file.
So I'm stuck! And I can't understand why I don't have this preferences file?! Or is there something else I can do? Something I understand wrong? Please let me know because I'm going crazy without my Ableton
Thanks
Vince
