how do i restore "ownership & permissions?"
hello!
out of the blue, i could not add any programs to my "applications" folder. so i chose on it and clicked all ownership to me. now when my friend logs on to my computer, he can't launch any programs not to mention save files. how (and to whom) do i restore "ownership & permissions," for all applications to work when other user log on to this computer? thank you for any information. have a great day!
(i am using os x 10.2.8.)

Choose your drive partition from the list.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
This is a fairly common question. Next time, check the FAQ thread at the top of the Genius Bar. This questions was answered in the third post to that thread.
