Just thought I'd post this up in case anyone else has the same problem: how to get the Safari debug menu enabled on Windows!

  1. navigate to C:\\Documents and Settings\\Your Username\\Application Data\\Apple Computer\\Safari
  2. right-click Preferences.plist and select Open with...
  3. in the program list select WordPad
  4. click Ok
  5. scroll to the end of the file, at the end is the text:
    </dict>
    </plist>
  6. just before this, copy-and-paste the following:
    <key>IncludeDebugMenu</key>
    <true/>
  7. save the file and restart Safari
  8. a new debug item will have appeared in the menu bar

Hope this helps, ask any questions here. Smiling
