Yes, I have a similar problem, but it's with a bunch of middle aged engineers! Unfortunately, they are all magnetics people, and don't have that "hacker" instinct. There are a few in the group that think they do, however. They all share two machines for report writing and statistics gathering. Some of them insist on rearanging all of the icons all over the place, making things hard to find for others. They also like to change the setup stuff just to be pains in the ass. Anyway, has anyone found a way to protect against this sort of thing? Will making the group folders and the .ini files "READ ONLY" prevent people from changing things around? -- Todd Day | todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us | ucsbcsl!ivucsb!todd Zen koan: *finger = moon; /* finger != moon */
