I would like to see two options added to TOPS to get rid of
two annoying things that happen when other people mount
folders from my hard disk.

The first problem is that when someone does this, their Finder
creates a desktop file in the folder.  I recently went through
my disk and found about 20 desktop files!  This could be
fixed with an option to tell TOPS to delete the desktop file
when the folder is unmounted ( if it is not the root ).

The second problem is that I don't want people with SEs and
Plus's to mount my hard disk.  When they do, all the files
I keep at the bottom of my screen out on the desktop get
moved around so they will fit on a tiny screen.  This could
be solved by an option that specifies the hardware configuration
that a user must have to be able to mount something from TOPS.
