On my DP1.8 GHz G5 Mac running Mac OS 10.5.8, when I try to rename a
folder I sometimes get the error message -
“You do not have sufficient access privileges to rename the folder xxxx.”
I am the sole administrator for this computer. How can rename these folders? Thank you.

Try clicking on the folder in Finder, go to File -> Get Info, and see what >permissions are listed for the folder in question. Maybe changing
permissions there will let you do what you want.

I solved this one once by accidentally trying to delete the folder containing the one I'd been trying to kill, after changing permissions
and ownerships of the offender without much success. I even tried to
kill the stuck one using Windows. Nothing worked.
If the stuck one is not in a higher folder, maybe putting it inside
one would work? I know this raises inheritance issues but it *might*
work. Maybe. If you fiddle enough with "chown".
