- By default, if your users don't have access to the DESKTOP files, they can't
- permanently modify the desktop. This is the default created by NW4Mac when
- it's installed, so unless you have changed something, it shouldn't be a
- problem. (I could be mistaken.) My experience has been that users can
- change the desktop during a session, but when they log back in or re-mount
- the volume, they will find it in the state last created by a
- SUPERVISOR-equivalent user.
