[QUOTE="thermidor, post: 371215, member: 9741"] Are you asking how to use chmod? I find this quite surprising... if you know enough to think you need to use chmod, I'd have thought you'd have known how to use it! Try "man chmod". Good luck with sorting your problem, it's not one I've seen before. I take it you've tried Repair Permissions and the usual quick fixes already? Also if you've not already, try at the command line: "chmod 333 /.Trashes" I say this because I've just read the Mac will delete files immediately if it can't access the directory /.Trashes. I'm also thinking this is why you think you need to use chmod. If you get a response along the lines of file not found, then try "mkdir /.Trashes" first. This might not work but it shouldn't do anything bad. In a minute somebody who can think clearer than me will probably come along. [/QUOTE]
