I just had to reinstall my OS today (10.5.8) because the computer wouldnt start. Now its asking for my password every time I want to move a file (which I dont want it to do) and it also says I dont have sufficient priveleges to rename a file.

I already clicked get info and changed the preferences to read & write for the entire hard drive and all the users. I am the only user, and its set as an admin, and I already enabled the root user.

Short of going through every single file on the computer to try and set it all to read & write permissions (which doesnt seem to help by the way), what can I do to fix this? Im going a bit crazy right now.
