Another Method, Same Result
Authored by: cmccarthy on Jul 19, '01 02:23:30PM
Not to get too out of hand replying to my own post, but there's another way of doing this which doesn't require opening Terminal on login. After you get preferences the way you want them, and don't anticipate wanting to change them, change the permissions on the following file:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.clock.plist
to read-only by owner (you) and none for group and everyone else (they should start out as read and write for you, none for group and everyone else). I did this from the Terminal with
chmod
but I guess it would work from the Finder with Show Info as well. I'd also imagine that you'd have to change permissions back again if you wanted to alter the preferences again.
