When a locked document is double-clicked on the desktop, an ALRT is presented saying "The document "<name>" is locked; you will not be able to save any changes." is presented. When I say locked, I mean that the "Locked" checkbox in the Finder Information window has been checked. This ALRT is apparently coming from the Finder: the text of the message is contained in STR# 129 in the Finder. Is there any way to suppress this ALRT? I'm working with a collection of instructional modules; for obvious reasons, these should not be modifiable by the students. It is important that the students be able to start the instructional session by double-clicking the module's icon (i.e. the document icon, not the application icon). It gets tiresome very quickly to see this ALRT every time a new module is started. I know one solution to this problem: put the modules on a read-only AppleShare filesystem. But a solution to the problem for locally attached hard drives would still be desirable. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
