For folders that don't need to be modified, setting the read-only
attribute is an easy solution. Else, maybe this solution posted
by "Mike" in the microsoft.public.win2000.registry group would
work for you.

I finaly found it.
We had the same problem here with users draging folders by
mistake.
You can set the drag and drop or copy and paste files
confirmation prompt
Localy:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1802"=dword:00000001
AND on the intranet:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1]
"1802"=dword:00000001
Enjoy!

you want to move or copy files from this zone?" prompt to appear
for all drag/drop/copy/paste/move actions on all files and
folders for a particular Zone. Zones include: My Computer, Local
Intranet Zone, Trusted sites Zone, Internet Zone, Restricted
