- You know, I realized now that I should have described *why* I am trying
- to do this.
-
- I am running a lab of Mac on System 7, and I would like to hide the
- System Folder. But doing so disables all of the Apple Menu items. I was
- trying to look for an app to hold all of the DA's, put in the Startup
- folder, and disable the Quit command on the app. Then the students can
- get to the DA's w/out getting a chance to muck around in the System Folder.
-
- But I figured out the answer to my problem anyway. You can use Font/DA Mover
- to move DA's back into the System File under Sys7. Then, if you hide the
- System Folder, or quit the Finder, the DA's will still be accessible.
-
- Sorry about the confusion.
