One reason HC (even 1.2.5 under System 6.0.5) won't run with a locked startup
disk is that for some reason it wants to overwrite the clipboard file in the
System Folder as it starts up.  You can confirm this by doing a "Get Info" on
this file, and clicking the "Locked" checkbox, to lock the file.  Presto: HC
will not run!  If there is no clipboard file, it will insist on creating one.
So what gives?  Is there a way of getting HC to leave that file alone??

Thanks
