Q: How can you change default persmissions saving files
Mac OS 10.5.8, intel based Mac Pro
When I save a file it has the permissions RW RW R. There is another 10.5.8 non-intel Mac Pro then when they save a file to the destop, it is RW R R. How do you change the default saving permissions? I want it always to be RW RW W.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

BDAqua - Thanks for the reply. After I created the file and logged out/ back in, I had to change the permissions on the folder also.
