One of the things that is difficult to do in the "norm", is to
munge with the finder enough to write protect the trash can.

What it is much easier to do, however, is to stop the trash from
being emptied.

I have suggested this as an addition to MacPassword 3.x (still in beta)..
we shall see if it is feasable (ie: in Guest mode - disable trash
emptying).

I'll make sure that version 3.0 is posted to the binaries moderator
when it is done.

Stu.
