Try using the TrashDisable Init which I wrote to stop my 4 year old
daughter from trashing everying possible like she did once before. I
posted it to comp.mac.binaries a couple of months ago. With TrashDisable
installed, it is impossible to delete files from the finder or from any DA
installed in the finders application heap unless to toggle the INIT off with
the supplied FKey. Using the FKey a second time enables the INIT once again.
TrashDisable does not interfere with the ability of other applications (or DAs
not installed in the Finders heap) to delete files.
