<snip> Then why, may I ask, Does the permissions repair tool also fix permissions on items that don't belong to Apple's software? I have many examples of such, Netgear, Adobe, Microsoft, Roxio, Toast... all of them appear in the permissions repair log when it is indeed repairing permissions on any file that requires a permission for the system to use it. In short: If it's installed on your system, It has a permission that might be messed up even if Apple didn't make it.
