Can anyone provide me with information regarding disk
partitioning & locking these partitions on the Macintosh ?

I work in a lab situation & have a problem with the students
saving their files into the software & sometimes into the
system folders.

Yes, it would be easier to tell them that files saved there
will be trashed but I still have to spend large amounts
of time checking the various folders.

I had in mind partitioning the disk with Silver Lining and
locking the volume containing the System & software.
The other volume would be set aside for students files.

Is there a better product than Silver Lining for the job ?

I have experimented with some of the commercial locking
packages but they seem to encrypt as well.  At the moment
the Budget is very tight so I was wondering if there are any
good shareware packages that might do the job ?
