[X4U] Permissions Question

[Ed Gould]

Randy:

No it did not.

I eventually got around it but to be honest I do not remember step by  
step how I did. One other person suggested to restart and when I had  
this issue before it did help. Not with this one though. I got a few  
good suggestions (like yours).

I wasn't desperate to get this done other than the files were taking  
up screen space. How I did it was a bit of trickery my friend  
suggested and it worked.

This is the second time i have had this issue and I think it started  
when we created a new ID to trouble shoot another problem (long story  
best not talked about).

What I do not understand is if the account has administrator doesn't  
that essentially say ignore ownership?
