Tell us what you are doing when you’re getting this message. There are times when you’ll get that message, and it has nothing to do with administrative privileges.
I’ve not been able to correlate it with any activity. In fact, just now it happened while it was just sitting there in memory as I was reading this web page. The last thing I had done, a minute or two ago, was open up a new transparent document; I had not even put anything in it. It seems to just happen every few minutes any time I have PSE running, whether I’m working in it or not.
After a little more experimenting, it appears that I get the message 1-1.5 minutes after launching PSE; then 1-1.5 minutes after that; and then no more. This happens whether I’m actually working in PSE or not. Far as I can tell, the messages don’t keep me from doing what I want to do, so it seems to be only an annoyance. Still, one gets curious…..
Well, in my case, when I log in as administrator, I don’t seem to get the message, but when as a user, it keeps popping up: I think 3 or 4 times at the intervals Eric reports, and then disappears. (Mac OS X 10.3.3)
I had the same problem… try

Thanks, Jarrett. It turns out that OS X does not properly change privileges to enclosed items. (Found even a note on this in Apple’s knowledgebase!)
