Hi all,
I have a network at work where I would like to prevent everybody except
the Administrator from deleting folders from the FileServer.

I would like to allow access for everyone to delete individual files
within these folders but not the folders themselves.

This is to prevent somebody from accidently deleting a whole folder
with all the files within it.

I have tried to use the advanced file permissions settings but can not
see an easy way to do it.

Thanks in advance!!
David
