Click to expand...

You can remove all NTFS permissions from it. To restore
your ability to modify it, you must seize ownership of the folder.
 
Pegasus,

If you remove all permissions to that folder then the user cannot read or
list contents... Then they have a folder which cannot have anything done to
it until permissions have been restored. What's the use of that?
 
Good point! The OP should only remove the "write" permissions
for everyone and leave the "read" permissions in place.
