I think the reliable way to *prevent-from-changing* is the ResEdit.
But it seems to me that we don't have a right to modify the Netscape

File lock methods: AtEase, Finder (by "lock" checkbox checked),
AppleScript, and other 3rd-party utilities are simply
useful to *restore-to-defaults* after a something is done.

In our library, AtEase is implemented for block out the Finder.
