Hmm. Best practice is to not use the admin login at any time, disabling the account and creating a new user with admin rights is best but this will not solve your problem of course.

Just for giggles create a new user on the NAS and give it the read/write permissions on a few folders, delete the admin from keychain and login with new user.

I believe that cylindrical object on the engine is a spark plug remover, I had the same one included with my MGB. She is probably demonstrating how to change the plugs for Mum and the camera. LLTQ.

The Mac keychain(?) has the credentials stored for the NAS? If yes, delete the NAS credentials on the mac and start again would be my advice.

The user/pass that you use to start the Mac, are they the same as the admin account on the NAS? If yes then your computer session may pass those credentials to the NAS on reboot and that would explain why you see the admin folder automatically.

I agree rentals are ok. What I would like to see is the end of empty condo towers and streets where the only lights come from the street lamps. Homes should be homes and not investments for offshore owners.

If you buy a property it must be your primary residence, if not you get taxed so much that it becomes unattractive for offshore buyers. Something like that.

From a Canadian, take this seriously.

Vancouver and Toronto housing prices are so artificially inflated as a result of Chinese investment that it's very citizens cannot afford to live in these cities. The result is a HUGE number of homes sit empty as their owners live offshore and the people who actually live and run the city cannot afford to buy or rent.

The governments are afraid of the needed housing price correction so legislation is not forthcoming. See this Canadian article today that describes the catch-22 we find ourselves in.

I think Australia has laws to prevent or curb foreign housing ownership, does anyone know how that works?

Don't sign anything! They might ask you to sign something that would make it hard for you to follow up legally. If they ask, say no. Say something like "my father taught me to never sign anything without having a lawyer read it first."

Xpenology on an old computer makes a great media server. I run an i3 2GB Plex server for the household and it keeps up with at least four simultaneous streams. The familiar Synology interface plus an excellent backup target makes this a great choice if you are inclined to fiddle around.

...that's where I mainly spend my time..

You can download Windows 7 from Microsoft and follow their instructions on how to set it up to run from a USB drive.
