[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1672033, member: 76746"] Thanks for taking time to write, Chscag, Sometimes, docx and xlsx from Office 2011 are, indeed trashed. Even old xls and doc files may be put in the trash. However, usually the files are random types. They include jpeg, tc3, pdf and others. The folders can have files of many types inside. And example is a folder that wound up in the trash today had a webarchive, several jpegs, a couple of pdf and one docx. Once, an entire encrypted sparseimage with hundreds of folders and thousands of files of many types (lots of xls & xlsx) got put to the trash. Oddly, it was not mounted at the time. A couple of types that I have never seen trashed are plist and app files. It seems that only items in the Documents folders are subject to being trashed (at least any that I've discovered so far). I checked permissions for both users' Documents folder & they have the user's name as "Read & Write" and have "Everyone" as "Read & Write". I don't know if bad stuff will happen if I change "Everyone" to "Read Only" or if it may help the problem. (I don't know to whom "Everyone" refers. The owner, too?) Thanks Again for helping. I surely appreciate it! Paul [/QUOTE]
