We are a happy MAC family, my wife, 6 yr old daughter and 2 1/2 yr old son. Recently, the little guy has gotten amazingly proficient at clicking on icons and dragging them around. It is becoming a new adventure to come home from work and see what he may ha moved, hidden or dragged into the trash. I want to leave him his own folder to play in and then protect all of my own work. Can anyone recommend a very simple, inexpensive folder security package ? Maybe something that can protect a folder and all folders and files within it with a password and leave other (the boy's folder) unprotected and available to him to do with as his imagination dictates. I once used Sentine but that was awkward and if I remember required a new "lockbox" folder to be created and the files/folders to be protected to be moved into it. All I need is to protect basically all of the hard disk with the exception of one or two folders left un-protected. Encryption is NOT necessary. I appreciate all of your suggestions and if there is interest I will summarize and re-post to the net. Thanks and regards ; - Al
