[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1348510, member: 92466"] I was fooling around with different methods of taking screen shots and some combination of keys that I tried turned on a requirement to enter my password when dragging any file to the trash. I've made sure that none of my files are locked. They are not, never were, and that's not the problem. I verified/repaired permissions using Disk Utility in my Apps>Utilities folder and also via Lion Recovery (restart, hold Command+R). Did not solve my problem. Made sure that I have Read/Write privileges for all files using Command+I. I'm using administrator account (always have) and nothing's changed there. Not the solution. So I'm out of ideas. I've read a few things via Google searches about different commands in terminal, but they don't really sound like my [I]exact[/I] issue. I can drag to trash and even empty trash, but it just requires my password every time. It's annoying and never done this before so I'm [U]certain[/U] that it has to do with my playing around with shift+command+various keys. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
