You can't lock a folder, as far as I know.  You could make an 
Applescript that deletes this alias.  Then put the script in your 
Shutdown items folder, so it runs automatically when you switch off 
the computer:

tell application "Finder"
	activate
	select file "filename" of folder "Startup Items" of folder 
"System Folder" of startup disk
	delete selection
end tell

Paste this in the Script Editor, save as "Classic Applet", put in 
Shutdown items.  Substitute the exact name of the alias for 
"filename", and make sure the other names are exact as well.

Colour calibration stuff, possibly installed by Photoshop.  You can 
trash it if you don't need it.  Photoshop works without it.
