chmod 755 -r ~/Desktop That will reset the permissions on the Desktop directory and everything in it so you have read/write/execute permissions and members of the same group as your user account (which from memory wouldn't be anyone else on Ubuntu) and all other users can just read and execute files. You might then want to go changing the permissions of individual things on your desktop. To do this, right click on the item you want, select properties and then the permissions tab. IIRC for standard documents etc you won't need execute permissions just read/write. Rob -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
