Ha! that's funny.
I wonder what a less-capable user would think of their computer moving files back for them. ("I'm sorry Dave, you can't move that folder")

I think I would rather just tell them to use a different folder for their docs... it has worked out so-far.

What happens if you put the MUD somewhere obscure where dumb users don't

~/Library/Application Support, put an alias to it in ~/Documents, and lock down the alias. The alias file doesn't have to be writable, just the files
in the real folder. Will that work? (I've never tried this.)

I could try this out. I suppose then that even the Alias could be made invisible (locked or unlocked)


Better if Entourage/office as a whole would support this, but a hidden alias to ~/Microsoft User Data might be an ok workaround.

Thanks
