It is probably best to create your own wallpapers directory under your home - or even in your Documents directory - then save the wallpapers there. When you are logged in as a normal user, you cannot write to a system-wide directory - permissions. I do find it strange, however, that you can't write to that directory as the root user; but either which, just create a directory to store you fave papers in under your Documents directory and all will be well - and you'll be keeping your system nice and tidy. stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
