I have created a share on a Windows 2003 server and there are a number
of different folders on the share which different groups of users need
to access. The users need to be able to create new files, delete
files, modify files and create sub-folders within whatever folder they
are working in. Permissions are controlled by groups of users.

My question is, is there a way of setting permissions so that a user
cannot accidentally delete one of the top level folders and its
contents? I can prevent them from deleting any one of the actual main
folders but they can still delete the contents. I don't want to make
the set up too restrictive though as users need freedom to do their
work.

My concern is that a user can accidentally click on a folder and delete
it without them knowing what they've done. Users seem to be able to do
this quite easily!

Thanks

Sandy

Use NTFS Advanced permissions to deny them delete permission on the top level folders
(This folder only)
