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 advanced 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

Can you say more:

1. Are the students accessing a central file server?
2. Are their "own" folders on that file server?
3. Or, are they on one machine?
4. Does each student have their own login id?
5. Have you considered using "My Documents" folder as each persons
folder to store their own work?
