[QUOTE="combatking0, post: 929171, member: 115023"] I have an external HFS+ disk attached via USB to an eMac running 10.4.10. I use an AppleScript to organise the drive on login, but it will only work if the drive has a specific name. All users require read/write access to the drive, but is there any way to prevent the user changing its name? Some users (they're kids, so some of them like messing things up) will change the name of the drive, and it ruins the functionality of the setup. I have attempted to hide the drive using AppleScript, but then Finder cannot open any folders on it. [/QUOTE]
