If you have read permissions to a file, then you can copy it to another folder where
you are allowed to write but not move it. Move is essentially a read/write/delete
operation while copy is just read/write. You need to check that the user is not a
member of another group that has delete/modify/full permissions for the folder in
including the advanced permissions page. If the user is the owner of that file, then
he will have the ntfs permissions of the creator/owner also. You can go to
advanced/owner to see who is the current owner of file. --- Steve
