This worked fine until today....when I apple shift 4 to take a picture I get this error message....The attempt to take a screen capture has failed. The error is: 'Cannot write file to intended destination. Please make sure that the destination folder is writable.'

How do I correct this?

Thanks for anyone that can help.....PS :)
 
The default location for screen grabs taken with that keyboard shortcut are to your Desktop. Go to your user folder, and use :apple:+I on the Desktop folder. Make sure its not locked for one, and also look in the Sharing & Permissions section to verify you have read/write access.

Have tried all suggestions so far and I still get the same error.....i appreciate the help.
