How to prevent a folder from being accidentally deleted?
It's two-part operation: 1) Set the 'Deny Delete' and 'Deny Deleting files/folders' permission entry for your X folder's parent folder with scope 'Only for objects in this container'. 2) Set the 'Deny Delete' and 'Deny Deleting files/folders' permission entry for your X folder. Don't forget to set a 'Replace children object permissions' checkbox. Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to try the Fileshield program and see if that is useful. As for changing the permissions settings on the folder, I'm not sure how to do that. For example, what is the parent/child folder distinction mean and where do I change these permissions? There seem to be several users (ie system, me,) and I'm not sure which ones I have to modify. -- anh -Jesus loves me but I just want to be friends, so it's kind of awkward.- |
