I just bought a iigs with a hard drive. I have a 10 year old son whose access to the hard drive I'd like to limit. I'd like to have a password protection scheme come into play whenever the harddrive is opened". Thus, booting from a floppy would show the harddrive as being there, but when you double-click on the harddrive icon, you must enter the password to successfully open it. This would also occur when you boot from the harddrive itself. Once "opened" and access is gained, no further validation would be required, until the next time when the drive was "opened." Even if the gs is shutdown with hard drive windows open on the screen, the next time it is booted, a password still must be given. I suspect I need an init or some sort of intercept. Anyone out there have something that suits my need? -- Christopher F.

Before I get your hopes up too high, I'm going to download it (it's probably PD/shareware) and try it out. If it does what you want it to do, then I'll mail you a copy. Brian T.
