Folder Permissions on my network

Question

Sign in to vote

Hi experts,

I have a numerous folders on a network which everyone can get to. They retrieve, edit, add and delete documents within those folders.. which is great. But.. what I am having trouble with is my people moving/deleting the actual FOLDERS! So, what I want to know is... is there a way to set permissions of these main folders where my users CANNOT move, edit, delete the main folders (but still have full access to do whatever they need to the documents INSIDE the folders?

A solution to this would be magnificent, as I am finding a lot of my technical support time is spent retrieving/re-establishing these MAIN folders that the people keep messing up.

The server is a Windows 2005 server.

Thanks!
