We have a share area with several folders containing miscellaneous documents. All users need full access to the Parent folder and from there the permissions are applied accordingly. Is there any way to prevent users from moving the parent folders? They generally do this by mistake.

with regards to the parent folder. It sounds like you might need to change advanced NTFS permissions to apply Read to 'This Folder Only'. It sounds like you your subfolders aren't inheriting permission, correct?

If you right click on the parent folder and click on the "Security" tab you will see in the bottom left an "Advanced" button. If you click on it it will give you a more defined way of setting permissions for users. This is where you want to define the specific rights for your users.

But I beleave you want to define these rights on the parent folder of the containing folder and push down those rights to the sub folders. I may have gotten confused as to which is the parent folder we are talking about, but basically you want to start at the top and define your permissions by folder level.
