If you enable auditing of object access on your computers [assuming W2K/XP Pro/W2003]
and then enable auditing of the folders for only the two delete permissions you
should be able to find out the user by looking in the security log for Event ID pairs
of 560 and 562 by timestamp. Make sure you increase your security logs to at least
10MB from the paltry bit they have by default. The other thing to verify is folder
permissions for ntfs. You might try giving users read/list/execute/write permissions
instead of full or modify - at least to the folders only which can be done in special
permissions. --- Steve
