Click to expand...

Assuming you're using XP Pro: right-click the file, select
"Properties". Click the "Security" tab. Click the "Advanced" button at
the bottom of the box. Click the "Edit" button at the bottom of that
box. Now you've got a list of permissions that you can allow or deny.
One of those permissions is "Delete".
