The basic setups are stored in /etc/skel so if you have a standard set put it there. All suggestions are untested... Simple solution 1: chmod -w .* This will remove the ability to update the files. A simple solution would be to put into .bash_login or something more appropriate for x a script that copies the skel over the top of the directories again during startup. This would refresh the setup every startup. KenF -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
