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.
