I can, however, tell you what "recursively" means: "apply the changes to this directory and everything inside it". If you tick the box, whatever changes you made will be applied to the directory you've selected, and all sub-directories. If you don't tick the box, it will only apply to the directory you've selected.

Thanks Russell. I didn't have nay problems with flash drives and Linux either until three or four days ago. Now it's like anything I try to do I get a pop up window telling me I can't.
Thanks for explaining "recursive." I have a little better understanding of it now, but I still am unsure of some things. For instance, I went to copy and paste a file into the flash drive. I got the permission denied thing (I can't even remember the exact warning--there have been so many) so I added the "read and write" access below the "gregory" directory. That gave me the "recursive" choice. I chose "No," figuring I just want the flash drive to work and that that was the safest choice. Then this window flashed on (see screenshot 42). I cancelled out of that because I didn't know what to do.
Trying to understand the recursive thing. Since I choose "read and write" for "gregory" and all its sub-directories (see screenshot 44) so that means the flashdrive will accept pasting from all those folders (pictures, music etc), right? But there are no subdirectories (folders) under those folders (only files) so what would be the point of going recursive?
And lastly (see screenshot 43) I checked my flash drive again and all these lock icons are there. (They weren't there the first time.)
Any idea what's going on?
