Yes, but only once it has been *set*. If an application launches and

knowing it has been set would cause the problems I mention above.

Turning OFF the ability to write damaging files to the user's system

True, but turning it ON behind an app's back so that data can no longer be
written to disk legitimately is what I'm more concerned about...

Of course. But consider the implications: if someone is hell-bent on causing mischief with Transcript, there are a lot worse things they could do....
