Odd request

[wbmstr012]

I was asked a very interesting question that I don't know the answer. A user asked me if I could display a meesage asking the user if she was sure to move this file/folder just like when you delete a file.

Anybody know how to do that.

That would wreak more havoc and be more annoying than they think. There is no way to do it natively in 2K, but im sure some shell programming can do this.

..imagine what program would do when trying to copy files to directories while you're installing it. At least now, copy/move prompts only when overwriting existing files - as it should. Just tell them no, it's not possible...and be thankful that it doesn't work that way.

There is one way make everything READ ONLY (not advisable) Might make it hard or even imposible to UPDATE any thing and will wonder why none of there work has been saved.
