I've got Windows 2000 servers hosting shared project folders. The problem is that, from time-to-time, people will inadvertantly drag a folder to the adjacent folder - moving it and all it's gigabytes. It was an odd-event at first, but its becoming common... surprising how easy it is to do. Here's the example:
f:\share\projects\A..Z
(there are 26 folders at this level, one for each letter)
f:\share\projects\A\ABCPROJECT
f:\share\projects\B\BBBPROJECT <-- actual project folders
Users -- right now -- have full access to the 'project' folders on down. What I'd like to do is set the privileges at the 'A' through 'Z' folders (all 26) in such a way that users still have full access EXCEPT they won't be able to move the A - Z folders inadvertantly. In other words, they can create and delete files & folders throughout EXCEPT they can't move A through Z.
I've spent some time on it, I've had a couple others work on it ... but we've had no success yet.
