As far as this discussion goes, the question was brought to me
almost six months ago.  I threw some ideas around, and bounced
some of my friend Matt Skipton.  At the time we decided the thing
to do was to hide things as has been mentioned.  Someone felt that
was to extreme, and now they are looking for new ideas.  By the
time that all of their requirements are met, it gets pretty
complicated.  We know that a machine will still boot from a hidden
System Folder, and Matt says that AtEase can also use applications
which are hidden.  The simple solution; set AtEase to run exactly
how you would like, hide EVERYTHING leaving only an alias of
AtEase on the Desktop, and do NOT require a password to exit to
Finder.  Does that answer the question?  I have had to solve more
difficult question which have required; "removing" the Finder all
together, having the machine shut down at a certain time, having a
stand alone application to delete files, and having a hard drive
with more than one System Folder on it.  Yey my ideas may be crazy,
but at least I have thoughts to call my own.  College has made me
cynical, it is time for me to leave.
