[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1668468, member: 131855"] I'd have to disagree with running permission repair as a matter of routine monthly maintenance. Macworld once referred to this as one of its[URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/1133684/maintenance_intro.html"] top 5 maintenance myths[/URL]. The author's position essentially seems to be that permission repair is only useful if the problem resides in the permissions for the subset of system files that permission repairs affect. It's certainly worth thinking about when someone is experiencing problems but even then it's pretty far down my list of troubleshooting things to do. [/QUOTE]
