oh, sorry, I've seen the attachment and I forgot to add a red circle on the problem... the fact is that when I tried to find an excel file that I knew it was in my document folder, spotlight didn't work... I then decide to manually go to the document folder, I had a 'you don't have the priviledges to open this folder' message... I then get info on the document folder, and I saw I have no access (you can see it in the right part of the image) i try to manually set the ownership on my user, which is not an administrator, using the admin password, but it wasn't possible. I tried logging as admin, and changing the ownership from there, but it seems it wasn't possible. I then return to my user account, and then I can access the document folder, while if I get info it is signed as if I don't have any access... from the terminal, it seems that the permissions are set right for my user (drwx------)... ai I wrong?
