Prevent deleting folders and files.

You remove that right from the Security Tab.
Right Click the folder that contains the files you wish to protect and click on properties. Click on the Security tab, (you must have Simple file sharing turned off). From there you can define what a user that has an account on the machine has rights to do in the folder. Just check or uncheck the relevant options.
To prevent deletion un-check Write and un-check Modify.
IF the Operating System is XP Home this needs to be done from safe mode.
In all cases it needs to be done from an administrator Account.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
