Firstly to the OP (original poster) DON'T DO WHAT TERRY SAID!! He was, I think, being lighthearted, and as he's one of the nicest people on these forums, I suspect it was a joke.
Folks, let's all be careful what we tell newcomers, even in fun.
One of the main DesktopBSD people is on these forums (though as he's in Europe, he's probably sleeping now) and can probably give a better answer, but my guess is that you're supposed to use sudo. However, I really don't know, not having used DesktopBSD in awhile. In that case, it would be similar to a Mac or Ubuntu, where you have admin rights, to a point, but if dealing with directories outside of your home directory, you'd have to use sudo.
Again, that's only a guess.
