Downgrade Finder Interface Level
Speaking of tweaking Mac, Terminal commands are the simplest way of completing preferences tweak. However, try to avoid system tweak (command lines involving sudo) as the effect will be catastrophic if it fails.
This time, the tweaking will be done on Finder interface which the interface will be downgraded to its lowest level, as in Finder for Sharing-Only Account. Fortunately, this simple Finder isn't merely limited to Sharing-Only Account…

In Simple Finder mode, most features are dropped to only few remainings basic features, such as Close Finder, Hide Others and Run Full Finder.
To turn on Simple Finder, just execute this Terminal command line:
defaults write com.apple.finder InterfaceLevel simple killall Finder
Full Finder
To revert back to original setting, i.e. Full Finder Mode, this command line should be used:
defaults delete com.apple.finder InterfaceLevel killall Finder
This tweak can be used to secure your Mac, where you can shift to simple Finder mode before moving away from your Mac; Administrator password is required to Run Full Finder.

Telling people to avoid sudo is just as helpful as telling people to avoid anything where administrator privileges are needed. Better refer to the sudo lecture. It usually shows on first run of sudo, but I don't remember if this is the case on Mac OS X. It reads something like this:
"We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility."
Apart from that this tweak is nice to know, yet I can't currently think of a use for this. I use Lockdown whenever I have the need to secure my system, which I consider much more effective. BTW: Your comment form seems to not work on Camino.

I have seen this kind of Finder in Guest Account of my Mac.

As can be seen from Accounts Preferences Pane, Guest Account is exactly the same as Sharing-Only account.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.rfTp9tciElppbwZN
