[QUOTE="invinciblewhale, post: 672831, member: 58211"] Okay I've been researching this problem a little more, and it seems as if I may have (in the process of thinking I'd made a shortcut to my user folder) thrown my home directory into the trash. But my question is, if a home directory is thrown into the trash, is a new one automatically made in the /user folder? and if so, when the computer is rebooted, does it automatically empty the trash? there are some remnants of trash in the trash right now (previously the trash was full) that I didn't put in there. i am hesitant to try the directions listed here [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854[/url] because while it seems this happened to me, the symptoms aren't exactly the same. i don't think my home directory was renamed, but maybe moved. its there there under /User with the correct name.
