I only have one account on that machine, so I'm quite sure I'm logged 
in to the right account. The folder inside my User folder is ok, the 
probolem is with the other one that shows up in the left margin if I 
just open up "Mac HD" in the finder (together with the other shortcuts 
called "Desctop", "Applications", "Documents", "Movies" and "Music"). 
Perhaps that pix folder is an alias or so, but I have always thought of 
it as being a different one as the pix folder inside the User folder. 
Anyway, how can a folder I'm never using just change the permissions so 
that I, the Administrator, is left out? Really strange, because I never 
use that folder except for keeping some screensaver pictures.
