[QUOTE="Bob M., post: 1807705, member: 200112"] Thank you, yes, it's now obvious I did something wrong but of course, the Migration Assistant didn't tell me any of this beforehand. They make it sound so easy but of course, it's not, it's complex as you've pointed out. My old computer (toward the end) was working so badly that I'm not sure I wanted to copy and bring over all this stuff that's on that machine. I tried to 'limit' what Migration Assistant would do, what type of files it would copy and bring over but that was wishful thinking on my part. Once it got control, it did what it wanted - I felt like I was up against Skynet and was waiting for the machine gun robots to come into my computer room. I know there's always ways around these problems. I guess I was looking for the elegant solution. Can't I re-write the permissions? Thanks again, Bob M. [/QUOTE]
