Hi:

How can I stop my users from moving folders on a shared drive. I have found
that sometimes the user, inadvertently, drags and drops the folder in
another location, what I want to do is disable the moving of a folder and
its contents.

TIA,
Martin.
 
Martin,

You can do this by setting the permissions on the
folders / drive. You can use the Security tab if you
have it setup, and then change the different properties
on the folder. The best permission that would match your
needs it "Create / Modify Folder Data". This prevents
the user group from creating or moving folders, yet still
allows them to save / modify files.

If you need a hand at setting this up post back.

Here are a couple of KB's to help you through:
