user share

OK so i'm trying to make my user files available when I open a folder through root.  Little more detail.... My user name on my laptop is dad and when I am trying to delete a certain file it says i need root permision so i open folder as root and i can delete it but then when I try to copy another file my user dad is not accessible through root user so I can i make my "dad" user share all files under that?
Thanks.

Re: user share

Another question that goes along with that is how do i make the main user "dad" administrator if possible.

Re: user share

I can't quite work out what your first problem is, but as for the second:

If your user 'dad' was the user you created when you installed #!, it should have root (i.e. admin) priviledges. When you want to perform a command as root in the terminal, use:

sudo command

For example, if you want to delete a file which requires root access:

sudo rm /path/to/file

As for:

mv ~ /home/dad/apktool /usr/local/bin

All you have done (presuming you were root at the time) is to move your home directory (/home/dad) to /usr/local/bin. To remedy this:

sudo mv /user/local/bin/home/dad /home

should fix things.
