Put a file in the trash... "finder wants to make changes. please enter your password to allow this" then it deletes the file without putting it into the trash
As of this afternoon, whenever I put something in the trash a message pops up saying "finder wants to make changes. please enter your password to allow this" then it deletes the file without putting it into the trash.
How do I put the behavior back to the way it used to be (I have no idea what changed this, by the way).
I simply want to put something into the trash with no password required - and then empty it when I want to empty it.
One more thing, I did a repair permissions on the entire disk from disk utility - and made sure that I have full ownership/permission for all files that I normally access i.e. documents folder, desktop etc.
Also, it is not just files, i can create a new folder with nothing in it on the desktop (and yes i am the owner) and it still happens
Am a bit stuck as to a solution.
