I have an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1 which has been running nicely until yesterday. While creating a new User to try (unsuccessfully) to share files with my XP laptop, I must have done something stupid.

Now every time I do something like delete a file or move a file between folders I get the popup requiring me to give a password 'as this is a system change'

I am logged is under my name and password and I am shown as Administrator. I've visited the various Options in System Preferences but nothing seems to fix it. I've perused the MacRumor forums but found nothing similar, so it is almost certainly "my bad"

Can anyone suggest a remedy? Thanks.
