Desktop "locks"?
Hi,
So I made the mistake of installing VMWare to my desktop - Long story short I was trying to unpack all the files that get installed and I selected Desktop thinking it would make a new folder when instead it just dumped its files all over my desktop.
Well anyway, everything already on there immediately got a "lock" icon. I understand that it has to do with sharing - meaning the file isn't being shared and whatnot. I fixed it by selecting the stuff with locks, right-clicking, Sharing, then adding "Everyone" to the list with read/write privileges.
Well everything that I download to my desktop since that incident has a lock icon that I have to manually go remove with the sharing option. I've set the actual Desktop folder to "Everyone read/write" plenty of times now, but yet new files still aren't being shared.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
