On a Mac from the UI you *can* lock a folder. The lock restricts the folder during deletion (a warning message is presented), and this stops the folder from being written into. For a PC the equivalent would be Read only.
NOTE: This is an **excellent** way to restrict browsers data storage. Locate the cookies, history and/or any other folder you wish to restrict. Clear the contents. Lock it. The browser will work as normal - BUT - it can not write anything to those folder(s) no cookies saved, no history (if you want) saved, etc etc etc Chip On Wed, 4 Sep 2019 11:20:44 -0400, Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech wrote: > What do you mean by locked.
