Re: Prevent / deny folder creation on 2003 server from xp workstation

You will need to make sure that the group does not have allow permission for
create folders/append data for folders and subfolders. There are a couple
ways to do that using special permissions where a group can have different
permissions for the possibilities found in the "apply onto" box that you can
see when you look at the special permissions of the root folder on a default
install of XP Pro in the advanced page of the security page. The link below
explains more on special permissions. In your case you probably what to have
separate permissions for folders and subfolders and then files only. Note
that when you see create folders/append the create folders only applies to
folders and subfolders while append applies only to files.--- Steve
