The hard drive on this machine has been set up to include a folder for each of the applications that the office uses. Users have their own diskettes and save all their own work (and backups). The problem is that many of the (6 or 7) users are inexperienced Mac users, and there have been some problems on the hard drive. Someone accidentally deleted some application related files last week and this week microsoft word was moved in to the system folder and no one could find it to start it up. Is there some kind of application that locks down the folders on the disk, or protects the integrity of files on a drive, to prevent this kind of confusion from occuring? Please reply via e-mail. /Hagan | "Suddenly, in the middle of the flock, hheller@east.sun.com OR | the cook is goosed." -- Gary Larson hagan@athena.mit.edu |
