Reality check: You can change the permissions to deny yourself the ability
to change the files if you want! (And log on as some other admin to do
updates, I guess.)

SFP is brutal enough as it is. I don't want something that would REALLY
stop me from deleting files on my hard disk. It would be good if SFP would
read my mind and know when a change is due to some stupid program I'm
running (and the change should be blocked), and when I really want to make
the change.
