Its mostly ones above the user level, but not all of them. I've looked at the permissions and I can't see anything different about the file permissions or ownership between the ones that scramble and the ones that don't. Its always the same folders, and they always revert to the same state, even if I set view options to be the same as all folders, or set special view options for that folder. It never happens in my user account, so I just gave up on figuring it out and just try to ignore it - but if anyone has any clues as to a fix, that would be great. thanks, Steve
