- As far as this discussion goes, the question was brought to me
- almost six months ago. I threw some ideas around, and bounced
- some of my friend Matt Skipton. At the time we decided the thing
- to do was to hide things as has been mentioned. Someone felt that
- was to extreme, and now they are looking for new ideas. By the
- time that all of their requirements are met, it gets pretty
- complicated. We know that a machine will still boot from a hidden
- System Folder, and Matt says that AtEase can also use applications
- which are hidden. The simple solution; set AtEase to run exactly
- how you would like, hide EVERYTHING leaving only an alias of
- AtEase on the Desktop, and do NOT require a password to exit to
- Finder. Does that answer the question? I have had to solve more
- difficult question which have required; "removing" the Finder all
- together, having the machine shut down at a certain time, having a
- stand alone application to delete files, and having a hard drive
- with more than one System Folder on it. Yey my ideas may be crazy,
- but at least I have thoughts to call my own. College has made me
- cynical, it is time for me to leave.
