In the words of Riba: > Are you sure one of the folders is not a link pointing to the other > one? What are the locations of the two? Do a "ls -la" in the /Users > folder, that would show you if one of them is just a link. Or if it is > the root, do it in the root. Curiouser and curiouser. I can only see ONE perfectly normal ../Users folder in the terminal. In the Finder, though, there are two. Methinks the Finder app has gone bad? Can I throw away a prefs file somewhere? ;-) Magnus Stockholm
