Uppss... I guess I didn't make myself clear. When I said disabling the
"Save Changes" box I mean completely disabling that option (in effect 
turning it into gray). Windows 3.0 will do this if for some reason
it looses the group information for one of its folders. When this happen,
when exiting Windows, the "Save Changes" will be gray and you won't
be able to click on it.    
I was wondering if one can produce this in a more elegant way, since
with the above method, it will also give you an error message each time
you boot up Windows 3.0.
 
Since we have several users per workstation, somehow locking the opening
setup of Windows is very helpful. This way the more novice users won't
get so confused after an experience user leaves the workstation with Windows 
in a state of total chaos.
 
Sincerely,
