ya! It works like a charm. I made the immutable file a '.' (hidden) file so that it doesn't even show up in ROX. Thanks for your help Gilbert. -MQ

ohhh... good idea! thanks. I would still want to empty out the Desktop directory every reboot. I'm wondering if the *rm* command would delete everything but the immutable file or just stop and error out. I'll have to test.
"rm -f" should do the trick, since it will ignore errors and continue.
