In case anyone else is interested in the proposed solution to this problem...
All of the answers I received (7 or 8 of them) reccomended the same
software :
Guard Dog, a cdev to prevent changes to the desktop without knowing a 'trick'
(or maybe a password).
---> Nemesis Systems
P.O. Box 33268
Minneapolis, Minn. 55433
(612) 754-2983
It's shareware for $20... you may be able to find it on-line, or you may
want to call Nemesis directly.
Apparently the software allows you to set a password and, optionally, a
certain key combination so that files cannot be moved, copied, or
deleted unless the key combination (or password) is given. Hope this is of
help to others... good luck!
