[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1952156, member: 204485"] Well IgorP, looks like I'll have to retract my suggestion in Post #3 as it seems you did not restore your [B]entire[/B] device via Time Machine, just your Desktop. As even that is not universally a problem, yes, you could just live with it but it is a bit odd. Have you tried the suggestions in the linked article posted by pm-r ? Did it work? If you create a New folder on the Desktop do you have any problems moving files in or out or moving the folder itself? My guess is if this problem persists only for older folders and files they will become less and less over time. Try moving one of the files that requires a password to a new folder, then try moving it again. Does it still require a password for the second move? [/QUOTE]
