Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems a strange way to go about it. Why don't you just use file permissions to deny certain users access to a file? I would imagine that permissions for users, groups, and others offer enough flexibility to solve this without trying to modify the user interface at such a basic level.

Hi,
I need to turn off the ability to allow users to double click on a file and have them open it up. There are security reasons for this, as we do not want to allow students to open up the file and change grades or attendance. So we have to go through our login procedure that allows the teachers or administrators to open the file. But I can not see anyway to turn this off. I know in Carbon this is done through Apple Events, and ma sure that it is done the same way with Cocoa. I have looked on Apples site and searched this list, but have not be able to find the answer to this.


Thanks in advance for any help.
