- By the sounds of it, I'd say that a muzzle and leash ought to do the trick...

- Though you might be able to put important stuff on another hard drive or
- a separate hard drive partition, and write-protect the whole kaboodle...

- If you're running off floppies, you can write-protect them individually...
- Maybe with the aid of some super-glue?
