My question is: Is there any way to prevent anyone from making changes to the desktop, while still letting them have complete control over their folders? I'm afraid that people will change the default icon view of the main level of the HD80's hard drive to a 'View by Name' or 'View by Icon', thereby confusing people. Or they might decide to rearrange the folders in the window so they can find theirs more easily, but everyone else won't be able to find anything.Or they might accidentally drag their folders into other peoples' folders and be unable to reach them. If I set the Privileges for the hard drive to 'See Folders' and 'See Files' but turn off 'Make Changes', that might solve my problem - unless that means that users couldn't modify anything *under* the hard drive's directory (i. e. their own folders!). I don't know what to do here. Any advice would be appreciated. << Brian >> -- | Brian S.
