Not a custom-made solution, and veering from AppleScript, but have you
looked at something like Finderella? I haven't tried it yet, because my
2 year old daughter hasn't really become destructive (she just learned
how to go over and boot the game she wants, along with about 10 other
apps), but I've been meaning to look into it. It's billed as a kid-safe
version of the Finder. It runs on older versions of the OS as well.

Waiting until everything gets destroyed to take action...

My 3 year old son has an iMac. I packed it full of stuff for him and
kept it safe with a startup applet. The applet is something like:
repeat
tell app "Finder"
try
close windows 1 thru -1
on error
delay 5
end try
end tell
end repeat
That simple thing worked great until he figured out all he had to do
was bring the script to the foreground and hit command period. Then
all hell breaks loose.
It's so much fun for him that he goes over to his 2 year old brother's
Umax and does the same thing. Is there a way to use that type of
repeat loop or a stay open app which requires a password for command
period?
Thanks,
Help dumb Dad
