[QUOTE="crisscross01, post: 1798293, member: 402270"] Thanks Jake - you have it right and confirm I have options 1 & 2 understood correctly. I stay with option 1, which is not that bad; it was only the un-foldered files on which I was being refused permissions. Exactly the same file within a folder is fine. Will keep my stuff "in the basement" though I would liken it to the ground floor, making it easy to get in and out. This habit goes back 20 years when I was using a CAD prog called Microstation which used PC style filepaths so all directories had to remain as on the original PowerPC computer, running OS9 through several successor computers (including G4 Powerbook, where I still do the odd drawing or model in OS9.2). Probably ought to have changed from OS10.5 on! Doing research for and brief trial of Option 3 did give me a slightly better understanding of security. [/QUOTE]
