for lack of a better word, i've noticed that in finder, under network, there is a file called library that i cannot delete because i "do not have sufficient priviledges...". thing is, i'm already logged in as an administrator.

double clicking on the file and it says "the alias "library" could not be opened because the original item cannot be found." there is then 2 options available, to delete (which i cant) or to fix (which i dont know how).

this library file only showed up after my tiger upgrade, wasnt there before. this may seem like a small thing but it's driving me insane...pls advise.

thanks in advance.

I think this is a common problem. I have it as well.

I got rid of it using root (System Administrator (Super User)). Dragged it to the bin, but it came back on restart so it must be there for a reason.
