Yes, I have a similar problem, but it's with a bunch of middle
aged engineers!  Unfortunately, they are all magnetics people, and
don't have that "hacker" instinct.  There are a few in the group
that think they do, however.  They all share two machines for report
writing and statistics gathering.  Some of them insist on rearanging
all of the icons all over the place, making things hard to find for
others.  They also like to change the setup stuff just to be pains in
the ass.

Anyway, has anyone found a way to protect against this sort of thing?
Will making the group folders and the .ini files "READ ONLY" prevent
people from changing things around?
