document folder 1

[verninsk]

Within a networked primary school environment, all pupils have access to a folder to store and retrieve their work. Can the location of this folder be locked to prevent pupils accidentally dragging it to another location? If so can this be achieved while still maintaining access to it?

I think you can do this if the folder is on Windows 2000 or better, and the drive volume is NTFS. Right click the folder, go to properties, then go to the security tab and switch off "Allow Inherited permissions..."
Then click "Advanced"
From the Permissions tab, you click "add,"
Then you must choose an appropriate user, group, or 'everyone'
Then you will see the option "Apply unto:" you can choose "Subfolders and files only" then allow the applicable permissions.
When you click "ok" you will then see two permission rules for that folder, you can highlight the original rule, not the special one you just created, and click View/edit. Change the Apply Unto item to "This folder only" and that should be it.
This might even work on Windows NT, but I', pretty sure the volume has to be NTFS regardless of the OS.
