E is for Ian: To prevent someone from using another volume to get around SLP, we recommend using Apple's latest firmware upate, which can essentially force the user to go through SLP. Even this can be worked around, but it's a lot more difficult. For those who can't use the latest firmware, activating the soft-lock feature will at least prevent people from modifying or deleting the files on your drive should they boot with another volume. As for Conflict Catcher, please see the tip on our web site for instructions on how to make things secure: . Regarding the interface, its design actually *was* inspired by a high-school computer lab teacher (that was SuperLock's original purpose for being written), and we always design our user interfaces before we write a line of code--the UI is very important to us. That said, if you have any suggestions on how to improve it, we'd love to hear them.
