Thanks Steven but I have done this many times and it doesn't work. Please
spend a minute to TRY IT YOURSELF (and anyone else) and you will see that IT
DOES NOT WORK. 'Users' are able to delete the foler "test" and they can't
create any subfolders and files in it!!! It does not seem logic but that is
the case!
I think that the problem is that there are no subfolders and files created
yet inside the folder "test".
Please TRY IT before proposing something else.

Any other help is appreciated
