MOVING FOLDERS

You mean the users are the one moving the folders? There is no solution on this. Any users can move the folders anywhere they want, the only folders you can't move or delete are the system folders which the OS uses to operate your computer. The onlysolution you can do is to make a backup copies that you only know where, or tell them, "Don't move any folders or you're fired!".

You could get yourself a 3rd party utility to help you with this, but that might just be a headache in the long run.

Are you looking to just keep windows 2000 workstation users from moving folders? or other OS users as well? Where are they moving the folders to? the trash? an online stored folder?

My solution would be to HIDE the folders from them either using Microsofts TWEAK-UI add-on, or implement a Local Policy template for each workstation that Hides folders from them, or Even an entire local drive.

YOu can see whaat options are availbale to you within Microsoft Management console, type "MMC" at your Run prompt of the Win2k workstation, then choose Console--->Add/Remove Snap-In.

YOu should be able to set some basic security settings within the template, apply it locally, then SAVE your modified template to be applied to other workstations.

Either way, in the most effective manner, I think HIDING these folders from users is the best oprion, and a solution that should confuse even the intermediate users.
