Lock finder sidebar to prevent accidental deletion

It appears you have been using Apple computers for a while (according to your profile), so you most likely already know that when things get accidentally dragged off the Finder sidebar, they are not actually deleted. All items in the sidebar are only aliases, and still reside where you originally saved them.

Like I say, I bet you already know that.

As to your question, I did a quick Google search for "apple finder sidebar lock" and found a bunch of hits (including this post). Since you are the one with the question, I'll let you do the looking. Or maybe one of the resident geniuses will know.

Good luck.

I tried locking the plist and changing permissions on it, but the OS just reverts them back. Doesn't seem to be a way that I can think of.
