Do I have to throw away the network extension in order to achieve that?
No, seriously, even if I have turned off file sharing, I can't neither rename
nor change the icon on my Apple harddisk. Are there any other things that
depend on locking the HD name and Icon? My system: Mac IIfx 16 MB virtual,
8 MB physical, 160 MB Apple HD, Sys 7 Golden, Several usefull inits, 
(BTW, anybody knows why the compat checker gives an "obsolete" for the ballon
writer init?), a PLI 45 MB cartridge drive (where I can rename the drive and
give it a new icon). I also tried switching off VM, but that didn't solve the
problem.

Any help greatly appreciated.
please reply via e-mail to: breidenb@informatik.tu-muenchen.de
Thanks in advance.


Oliver.

And, guys, even though I can't rename my hd any more, System 7 is IT!
