OT: how to restore my Mac?

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi Tiemo,

I don't have my Mac in front of me right now but as far as I remember
it does offer a reset permissions function.

Just found this, which should work:
http://macs.about.com/od/Troubleshooting/qt/Mac-Troubleshooting-Reset-User-Account-Permissions.htm
or, as I do, you can give ONYX a chance, it does offer similar and
more functions: http://www.onyxmac.com/
Backup first, as usual ;-)

Regards,
Pascal
