Why would you want to give any old user the ability to prevent any other user from writing to a folder?

Nope. This is covered nicely by the users and access rights. I would like give the user ability to prevent *himself* from writing to a folder.


The rationale is that very often you don't really know what you are doing :) -- meant, any application you launch has all your rights but you don't know how the app developer chosen to apply them.

The archetype case would be a misbehaving application which on first launch install this or that here and there (like, the mentioned Input Manager, or some script additions which made Photocr\b\bshop infamous :)).
