If you’ve downloaded the Safari build on Windows, and you want access to the very helpful debug Develop menu (the javascript console, DOM viewer, etc), Do the following:
1) Open %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences.plist (Or open C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.resources\Defaults.plist) 2) Add the key / value:
... <key>IncludeDebugMenu</key> <true/> ...
for reference on Mac it’s:
$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
From the terminal.
In both cases you’ll have to restart Safari if you already have it open.
Also, in case you go to try it, it seems Safari doesn’t like to be run over a Remote Desktop session coregraphics.dll doesn’t like it:

Try connecting to the Remote machine using Start>Run & mstsc -v:IPADDRESS/HOTNAME -console and see if that lets it run?
Watch out, because some sites will not not work the same when running on Safari with or without the debug mode enabled… It seems like Javascript is broken sometimes when Debug is enabled !
This was immediately clear to me, but you have to make this modification after you run Safari for the first time. The files are created on first run.
Thanks Big Kev, but I am using Remote Desktop on a Mac – any idea how to translate that to Mac’fied?
For a quick and dirty, you can type Ctrl-Shift-J to show the Javascript console. 1 also seems to work as well as as the value for the IncludeDebugMenu key.
In the newest version of Safari for Windows this has changed. It is now in …\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences.plist (basically no longer in the Preferences folder)
After I enabled the javascript debug menu in the manner described here, Safari for Windows (beta, version 3.0.4 (523.12.9)) worked fine for a few days. Then it started failing–it would start up, but not even be able to load apple.com. Removing the debug menu seemed to fix the issue.
