Hello,

Windows 2000 server + NTFS or Windows 2003 server + NTFS
in a LAN

Is there a way to protect a particular folder in this server.
Files in this folder can be viewed by users in LAN. But cannot be COPIED
!!!.
Users can only view nothing else.

Please help

No.
Rights to read let them have copy in their viewing software on their
machine.
Once on their machine your server cannot control what is done with it, like
saving it however their viewing software allows.
Rights management software, which has a higher entry than you are looking
for, can mitigate the issue, but even then people can still just take a
picture
of what is on the screen.
