Try this.

First make sure that everyone has no more than read/list/execute permissions to the
drive/root folder and check advanced permissions also.

Then on the top folder give the appropriate group read/list/execute permissions in
the main security page. Then go to advanced permissions, add the group again and
select "files only" in the apply onto box and select everything but change
permissions and take ownership. Make sure the users are not member of another group
that has more permissions to that folder than you want them to have and keep in mind
that if creator/owner is present a user will be assigned those permissions to any
file folder they create and are owner of. When you test, be sure you are logged on
as a user that is only a member of that group. --- Steve
