My department just bought four more P.C.'s and is going to have them networked together with the Blossom ring, with a hard disk on the hmfic machine, and I desparately need a way to keep the commies(er, um, uh, USERS) from zapping the disk on a daily basis. I think I know enough to remove the format program, but how does one keep people from saying 'erase *.*OOPS!'? I really think this is a necessary utility, and will be eternally grateful if anyone can point me to a utility that does this, public or private. I will post or mail the responses to this query, as the volume of interest dictates.
