Help Urgently Required

[Martin Pearson]

Regarding permissions in Windows XP: I am the Assistant IT
Technician in a local school and my partner and I have
been given a project and are totally baffled by it!! Our
students are assigned their own folders in which to store
their work. The problem we are having is they accidently
keep dragging and dropping each others folders into their
own folders then wonder why they cannot find their work.
This is a real pain because the teachers cannot try to fix
the problem themselves so it is up to me. Is there a way I
can 'lock' the folders in place so they cannot be moved to
another location, but still give Read, Write and Modify
access to the folder. We are pretty certain that it has
something to do with permissions but have not yet come
across anything that can help us. Thanking you in
advance.... If you can help but do not wish to reply on
the message board, please email me at
(e-mail address removed) Thanks again

Thanks for your help Jason but i dont think I explained my
problem properly. When I said 'lock' the folder, i didnt
actually mean password protect it. I meant make it so the
folder cannot be moved to another location, but can still
be written to, read from and its contents modified. Thanks
anyway for your time. Regards, Martin

what we've done here is to only assign ful
l permissions to the student and admin. remove
the 'everyone" and it seems to work
