How do I prevent file and folder deletion?

I have a special needs grandson who uses ProLoQuo2Go for his communications. He has deleted this program several times while playing games. How do. I lock the file/folder so he can not delete it, but without preventing him from accessing it?

  • TS4153 few files and folder are not deleting from trash folder

    i am trying to delete all files and folders from the trash folder by clicking  empty securely, but its not deleteing the files anf folder. please suggest how to clean the trash folder by deleteing all the deleted files and folder.

    Securely deleting items in Trash writes Zeros over the data so that it is completely eradicated.
    This will take quit a long time depending on how much data you have in Trash.
    Unless there is data that needs to be rendered unrecoverable in the Trash, you could choose to just delete the files and folders with out the secure option.
    Once you have Emptied the Trash unsecurely you can always use disk utility to Securely Erase Free Space on the Drive.

  • Prevent using special characters in file and folder names?

    I've recently begun adding windows clients to my network. In doing so, I've found that on my file shares from OS X server, the windows clients are unable to see files and folders which have names containing special characters such as / ? < > \ : * | ”
    Unfortunately my accounting department has been creating files with these characters in their names for several years. I would like to find if there is a way to prevent them from using a defined set of characters in the file and folder names to prevent them from "accidentally" doing so in the future.
    I've found that by turning off streams support on SMB in OS X server, that my windows clients can at least see that a file or folder should exist, albeit with a corrupted file name. Removing the special characters from these names allows the proper name to become visible and the file accessible.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    PS: basically it's not a url encoding issue.
    I can url encode "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu",
    and pass it in a url query string. But my issue is not
    with an url query string, it's with an actual URL, that is,
    the actual name of the directory. It
    can't be "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu". But I
    want to allow the user to name their directory like that
    if they want. So I need a way to encode this into characters
    that can be used for an actual
    directory on the server.

  • I have a folder and 3 files stuck on my desktop.  When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password.  I do this but the files and folder will not delete.  I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked?

    I have an empty folder and 3 .jpg files stuck on my desktop.  When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password.  I do this but the files and folder will not delete.  I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked and I have full read & write access.  Grateful for any assistance in solving this problem.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    ls -@Oaen De* | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

  • How to restore file and folder labels

    Apple does it again. File and folder lables gone and little colored dots take their place. Apple at least give users the choice. That's choice, spelled C-H-O-I-C-E!!!

    http://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder/
    Hopefully that may work on your Mac. NOW, This is a Design/Ease of Use as well as a Efficiency/Workflow issue. I am using an IMac, c 2012 recently upgraded from 10.8.6 to the current version of Mavericks. Please restore Finder labels. Give us a CHOICE. All your young eyes don't see things the way us folks who are 60-something do. I have been using a Mac for 20 years. You removed colored folders before & restored before. Do it AGAIN. This is terrible. & ALSO, why does TextEdit print SO LARGE? It used to reduce the doc to try to fit it in on the paper. Now it makes the same documents PAGES LONG. I can't seem to make it work as before. For God's sake, bring back colored folders. Its not just me. I have time to complain. EVERYBODY I know hates the little colored dots. They do not serve the same purpose as Tags.  Even the major professors at FIT NYC, the college I am an adjunct at, for the last 30 years. Why, for the FIRST time in my 18 year relationship to Macs, do I feel compelled to use plug in??? Is that the only way to get my colored folders again??? I hate the way the screen slips to the side also, and windows maximize with the slip of the mouse, also. Get it together Apple!

  • How do I Prevent Headers and Footers in Acrobat 8?

    Hello.
    With Acrobat 8, how do I prevent headers and footers, such as the footer below, from appearing?
    (I'm not even sure if these are actually headers and footers, or something else. If they're something else, I don't know what they are called.)
    I'm creating the files by right-clicking on various .HTM files, and selecting Convert to Adobe PDF in the context menu.
    Thank you! Jd

    I think they are in edit preferences also, under the convert to PDF. I am not sure this is the same preference set.

  • Mac CAN't Cut files and folder???

    i'm new Mac user!
    My Mac CAN't Cut files and folder! is it normal? just copy, then delete orig.
    or use drag with OPT key. But i can't use CMD+X or CUT in EDIT menu.

    I have been having the same problem, and thought it was just me. Had the same problem with deleting files/folders in Finder...till I found you have to hold the cmd key down while deleting.
    Was hoping there was a keyboard shortcut for copy as well.
    Really infuriating, what would be a CMD-X, move mouse, CMD-V operation becomes a copy, navigate to new folder/move to new window, paste, go back to other window, re select and delete operation.
    My work around is to use Windows Explorer in unity mode in VMWareFusion if I am doing any major search/move/cut operations.
    Saves having to have multiple windows open/going back/forwards, between them.
    I did see a terminal hack that enabled the CMD-X keyboard shortcut....but it just deletes to the Trash Bin and does not actually paste the items back.
    Can understand the reasons nerowolfe states, but that does not stop it from being b**y annoying

  • Never showing my file and folder in desktop also..

    never showing my file and folder in desktop and hardisk also....how to fix that....

    See http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/list.html especially the part about the wrap modes and the list renderers.
    For icons look at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/filechooser/FileSystemView.html#getSystemIcon(java.io.File) though I don't think it supports different sizes so you'll have to scale yourself.

  • Use Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining destination contents

    I have been struggling trying to setup Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining the destination contents.  Basically, I need to add files at the destination, within the same folder structure that exists at the source.  Here's some details about the scenario:
    -I have PDF files that I create on a seperate computer than I my daily use machine
    -For security reasons, the source computer doesn't have access to any shares on the destination computer
    -The destination computer has access to shares on the source computer
    -I want to delete the original PDFs at the source after they are moved or copied
    I haven't been able to get Automator to move or copy the folder contents (files and subfolders) without dropping everything copied at the top level of the destination, resulting in many duplicate folders and a broken folder structure.
    So far I've only had luck getting this to work at the command line, but I'd really like to have this setup in Automator so that I could have either a service or application that I could use for any folder, prompting for the source and destination folders.  I'm a relatively new Mac user with limited Linux experience, so this is the command that I've cobbled together and currently accomplishes what I'm looking for:
    ditto /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE ~/Desktop/Documents/DESTINATION
    cd /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE
    find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec rm -f {} \;
    Thanks for any ideas!

    If you have a command-line syntax that works, why not just create an Automator workflow with a single 'Utilities -> Run Shell Script' action, where that action has your (working) shell commands?
    Seems way, way simpler to me than trying to reinvent the wheel and transcribe shell commands into individual Automator actions

  • Windows server 2008r2 files and folder auditing.

    Hi ,I want to Monitor files and folder with auditing in 2008r2 like write,read,delete etc..
    Can you please help me on that.
    Thanks in advance for your support.
    Thanks,
    Bhautik Shah

    Hello,
    this must be enabled on the folder you like to monitor. Steps in the following thread from the same question are still valid:
    Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
    [1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
    for "Audit object access."
    [2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
    - auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.
    After you've done both of these steps, any file deletions will show up in the Security log of the file server that hosts those files.
