Each file in the O/S has about half a dozen special bits that can be
set to make it behave in unique ways. There are invisible, locked,
read-only, ... and many more. You can inspect and change these bits
in ResEdit. Select a file or folder, and then go the menues and click
on "File Info" or something like that.
Here at the U of I, lab machines are set up with the important files &
directories LOCKED and/or INVISIBLE. Thus, most students cannot
damage the hard disk configuration. This is extremely useful.
