It seems you can either try and stop them cold (the invisible System Folder idea--pretty interesting!) or keep up with them and find out what they really want to do with their Mac. I think it's unrealistic to "lock in" everything. If the user truly is that dangerous they don't need a computer, they need a typewriter and a library card. > What did she do now... She can't tell me .. She either has to, or tell her to keep a log. If that "won't happen" then perhaps she needs to know she's on her own instead. I think perhaps then the level of cooperation you receive will go way up! Look at it this way. Normal software installations should be successful, right? She has enough knowledge not to be afraid to do some heavy-duty fiddling around, just not enough to know the consequences. You can help her with that, or if she won't help you help her--that's what is sounds like is going on right now--cut her loose. I think you all know I'm not normally this cold, but some people just need a nudge of responsibility. -David -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
