Preventing users from copying one folder into another

[Guest Neil]

I have a few users who have access to a share that keep accidently moving

folders into the folders next to them by moving the mouse a bit between

clicks when double-clicking a folder. Is there a permission I can assign

that will prevent a user from moving or deleting a root folder but maintain

permissions to move or delete the contents of that folder?

Yes, if you have all day to play with NTFS security and keep doing so, this

is really a training issue.

You'll want to assign special permissions on the folders. From there,

you can select whether you want to apply permissions to the folder

itself, the folder and subfolders, the folder, subfolders and files, etc.

 

You'll want to create separate permissions for the parent folders than

for the subfolders and files.

 

I hope this helps.
