1. Download and install a little freeware extension called "Mac Mach BEGONE!" which will hide the "plain icon" OS X files visible in OS 9. Works like a charm. 2. Forbid everyone from trashing any folders that they themselves did not create. You could even go so far as to lock said folders. 3. ALTERNATIVELY, you could *let* them trash OS X, or better yet remove it yourself from their drives. By the time they are ready for it, a new version will probably be out anyway. _Chas_ Moderator, rec.arts.drwho.moderated FAQ: http://www.otherleg.com/radwm-faq.html Charter & Styleguide: http://www.thecabal.org/~radwm/ Discussion group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modish/ Quotefile nominations: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
