Set up permissions as appropriate. You'll need to do Get Info on each drive and ensure they are set to use permissions.
Just thought I'd mention this in case some list members are unaware. When you or an application create a new folder at the root level of your user folder (this is where your Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, Sites folders reside) by default the new folder will be viewable to everyone. So for example if you are using Dropbox in it's default location the contents are visible to all users of that Mac unless you change it's permissions.
Newly created folders in your User folder will have these permissions: yourusername (Me) Read & Write staff Read only everyone Read only You want to change them to: yourusername (Me) Read & Write everyone No access Tina -- iMac 20" USB 2 1.25GHz G4 2GB RAM GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 64MB DDR OS 10.4.11 Power Mac June 04 2GHz G5DP 8GB RAM GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL 256MB OS 10.5.8 23" CD PowerBook G4 15" HiRes DLSD 1.67GHz G4 2GB RAM Radeon 9700 128MB DDR OS 10.5.8 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
