I have a shared folder on an NTFS drive. I want everyone to access this share but I don't want the subfolders from being moved or cut to different locations? Is there a permission or a way that I can prevent users from moving or cutting these folders?

You can give everyone 'READ' permission to the subfolders. Make sure you also add the Administrator and give him full control. If you don't add the Admin, then he won't be able to move that folder also.

If you just want everyone to be able to read what's in the particular folder you can assign read share permissions. This way no one will be able to change any thing. If you only want a specific group to read it, then I suggest you remove "everyone"from the user group and assign those persons or groups that you are giving access to.

Also, look at assign "Read & Write" or "Read Only" permissions to the parent folder and have those settings propogate down to the childern. Make sure you remove "everyone" from the user group and assign those needing access or else you will not have access either.

How to set up you folder permissions in this scenario so that no one can alter/move/add folders.

Top Level folder
(Share it as everyone-full)
NTFS: Domain Admins= full
System= Full
Everyone (I prefer domain users)=List

(WhyList, This only allows them to list the contents of the top folder, they can not add/mordify the folders beneath this)

Sub Folders
Again: Domain admins=full
System= Full
Domain users= change (or lower)

Never assign any other group other than admins/system full permissions. There is absolutely no reason in the entire universe that jo blow user needs full permissions ever.

Just a tidbit.
