Finderella (My First Finder)

Finderella is a simple Macintosh Finder replacement for children whose parents do not want them to mess up their hard disks. It also allows parents to limit the applications that their child can use. It is also Mac OS X compatible.

Available in French with many thanks to Olivier Metter
