Re: Deny folders creation/deletion without altering files accesses

The key to special permissions is to realize that a user/group can be shown
more than once for special permissions for the different possibilities in
the "apply onto" box. For example look at the special permissions for the
root folder of any default install of Windows XP pro. What I would do is on
the general security page for the folder give the group read/list/execute.
The general page generic security options are for "folders, subfolders, and
files". Then go into advanced permissions and select edit for that group for
folder, subfolders, and files and also check create files/append data. While
still in special permissions select add and then add the group again and
select everything but full control/change permissions/take ownership and
then select "files only" in the apply onto box. See if that helps or not.
Don't feel embarrassed as I have found VERY few that know how to configure
special permissions. --- Steve
