Argh I'm Noobing Out

Hey guys,

I screwed something with all the files\directories in my home directory and desktop. I was either chown or chmodding or something crazy (I conveniently forgot somehow...). Anyway whenever I try to enter a folder it gives me permission denied. This is bought through Konquerer (hey I'm a noob) and through the shell.

I chown myusername * -R, and tried chmod 660 * -R, but nothing works. What would prevent you from logging into a directory? My GUI user account owns the directory AND has permissions unless I'm missing something...

You need execute permissions to change into a directory.

Yep it was the execute bit. Thanks man.
