Fix disappearing apps in Simple Finder
Authored by: splatkus on Jan 06, '06 08:04:06AM

I've seen this issue on my daughter's account. The way I worked around it was to allow access to an application launcher app (I use DragThing) and then just place the Apps I allow her to access in a palette. DragThing is nice for this since the palettes can have large button style tiles.

I found that DragThing ignores all parental controls. I used the Parental Controls in System Preferences>Accounts>Parental Controls to turn off browser access. However, I left on DragThing and found that the links to browsers worked (while clicking from the Finder did not). This is a bug or a feature depending on needs.
