[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1609732, member: 76746"] Thank You ron4mac for takng the time to reply. I sure appreciate your help. I tired your suggestions & sadly didn't have any success. After clearing Recent, I repaired permissions again- Still no luck. At this point, any Text Edit file I open that exists on the computer (in that user profile only), asks for the sparseimage password & mounts the sparse image. These files are not in the sparseimage folder. Just regular, old files, for instance in Documents or on the desktop. If I just click to open Text Edit I still get prompted for the password for the sparse image folder. If I enter the password, the sparseimage is mounted and the file opens. If I decline the password prompt by clicking 'Cancel' exactly 4 times, the folder opens and the sparse image is not mounted. On the other user profile (which also happens to have a different sparseimage that is password protected), there are no problems with the rtf files. Now the crazy part- My user accounts are "Real Life" and "Work Stuff". [I]Real Life [/I]is the administrator. [I]Work Stuff [/I]is the one giving me the problems. If I am logged into [I]Real Life[/I] and navigate to HDD/Users/Work Stuff and find any rtf (outside the sparse image) and click it, the file opens fine. No prompt for a password. If I log into [I]Work Stuff[/I] where the file lives and click the [U]same[/U] rtf, I get the password request trouble. Crazy, indeed! Is there a way on OS X 10.6.8 to uninstall & reinstall Text Edit on that profile, or does my problem lay elsewhere? Thanks Again! Paul [/QUOTE]
