I could suggest two alternatives;
1. Make the folders non-deletable but leave the files as-is. This offers
reasonable protection against the usual 'Explorer slips' where a folder is
accidentally dragged-and-dropped, but doesn't prevent files being edited.
Users just have to be aware that they must get foldernames right first time,
once created they cannot be renamed.
2. Run a script periodically that 'locks-down' files which haven't been
modified for say, a week. You could do that with VBScript or AutoIt.

like to prevent users from deleting files and folders on this machine. I have
created a user account with limited rights on the XP workstation with the
share. My users map to that share using the limited user account. When I try
to go into security on the folder and check deny the delete and delete
subfolder, the users are unable then to rename a new folder they create, What
am I doing wrong and what is the work around. PS when I go to advanced
security and look at the effective permssions everything looks good.
