   Well, in the Finder, if you select them, and hit open-apple-I,
you'll get an info box, where you can manually activate or inactivate
them. If you want to change this status often, this is one of the
better ways to do so.

   If you want to change it once, and only change it by reinstalling
the system software later when you get on an Appletalk network, then
moving the files off (or better yet deleting them) is slightly
better-- it saves disk space and a fraction of a second on boot.
