[QUOTE="IgorP, post: 1952152, member: 367941"] New data! Not all of the folders on my desktop act as described above. I checked every folder 1) whether it required a pw to move a file, and 2) the Get Info box. About half of my folders act as normal: move files in or out or into Trash, no pw required. About half require a password to move a file in or out or to Trash. So the problem is not universal. 2) Of the folders that require a password, the Get Info box can be either of these two: [ATTACH type="full"]40476[/ATTACH] Those folders that do not require a password can also have Get Info's of either type. So the difference in the way my folders behave is apparently not revealed by Get Info. [/QUOTE]
