[QUOTE=".Otuku., post: 1662109, member: 343808"] [b]Alternative Fix[/b] Hi all, My mother also had this problem recently, and this is how I fixed it: - Make a new folder anywhere apart from the desktop, and drag the contents of your desktop into it - Open Terminal and run the command: sudo rm -r Desktop - Open the force quit menu and relaunch Finder - Drag your desktop from the folder we made earlier back onto your desktop Since this appears to be a permissions error with the desktop folder, I see no problem in simply creating a new one. Obviously, this won't be a permanent fix as the error could occur again, but such a thing probably doesn't exist in my opinion... Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
