Maybe not *definitely*. IIRC, I�ve seen a Mac go out over a network and open apps, even with program linking turned off. If the OP rebuilds the desktop, the G3 hopefully will prefer the versions on the G3, rather than those on the 6360. > to stop it otherwise, other than having aliases to the apps you want it It can be stopped for sure by creating a share point on the 6360 rather than sharing the entire drive. So if you create a folder called *Shared* (or something), you could turn on file sharing for that alone, and turn it off for the HD. Then move any thing you want common to both Macs into the Shared folder. Other things like the Apps folder and System Folder, Desktop, etc. would be unseen by the G3. > to use. along the same lines, if you have multiple copies of an app on > different partitions is there any way to choose which one is used by > default? seems my mac doesn't even look on the boot drive first. Hmm. I�m straining a bit on this one. I think the behavior has changed over the years. The simplest thing to try is rebuilding the desktop. I know that the rule for apps opening is last installed, first opened, but I�m not certain how this plays with multiple volumes, obviously with separate desktop DBs. If a simple destop rebuild doesn�t work, you could try trashing the desktop DBs and let new ones be created. If this doesn�t help, you can move the preferred apps onto the desktop, copy them back to the Apps folder, then trash the copy on the desktop. In the past I�ve changed the file type for the secondary app so that it�s no longer an app, but this might be inconvenient for you. No offense intended if this is all obvious. > > "Rev. George G.
