Does anyone know how to set permissions in win2k server that allow a user or group:

1. restrict deletion of folder, subfolder, or files

2. allow modify to files

I can't find a way to do this in Security | Advanced Properties and lookingfor help is this is possible.

Thanks.

1. Click the Advanced button on the Security tab for the file or folder.
2. Highlight the user or group you wish to apply the new permissions to, and click Edit (You will need to first uncheck the box labeled "Inherit from parent..." if it is checked).
3. In the "Apply onto" box, pick the appropriate object(s) to apply the permission against.
4. Check the Deny box for the permissions "Delete Subfolders and Files" and "Delete." Be aware that an explicit Deny will take precedence over anyother implicit Allow.
5. All other "Allow" permissions remain in force.

Hope this helps.
