Is there a way to prevent a user from deleting a file and still allow modify permission? Is there a setting in the server to not delete files permanently?

Thanks,

Steve C.

which OS?
typ[ically if you can change the permissions you can delete the file. turn on the recycle bin if you have one and disallow users from emptying the recycle bin. this is all swag though because I do not know which OS you are using now what environment.

I apologize. Thanks for the quick response.

We are on Windows platform running Small Business Server 2000. The goal is to prevent the users from deleting or moving any files or folders and only those with admin rights can.

The files I am trying to protect are located in a network shared folder.

A friend had mentioned to use GPO's. My problem with GPO's is, I have not implemented a GPO's and I do not know where to start.

Well I don?t know much about server setting, although I am using Folder Protect software with which i can set permission in a way that my files remain delete proof i.e. prevent deletion of files yet file can e modified and edited. I guess that?s the thing you are asking for. You can download and check it yourself and do let me know if it help your problem.
Hope this will work for you : )
