"Home" :-( I don't like it and don't use it, so I can't comment on whether
or how you'd get it to set permissions. Anyone?
Any chance of moving to Pro (or even back to 2000 Pro)? I don't feel that
Home is suitable for a public-access computer.
I doubt that any sort of indirection would slow down a competent hacker on a
non-networked Home system - if the program can see the file, so can the
hacker.
