Help me ! Help ME, I am stupid!

I WANT, I WANT to do it!

i want to create a folder where I will collect all of the interesting stuff that i find on the net.

i want to read , put and organize the files inside this folder without been able to delete or modify the files.
- because me, or some of my nasty friends could accidently delete or change my nice collection of files!

Can such combinatios of permissions be created in Windows XP for my lovely and special folder?

can not delete files
can not delete folders
can not modify files ( change the content of the files)

can read the files
can create folders and files
can copy files and folders from another folder to this folder.


Help!

In Windows Explorer right click on the files, select properties, under attributes select READ ONLY.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

Try this:

1) Create your folder or select the existing folder
2) RIGHT click on the folder and select SHARING and SECURITY... You may be placed directly on the SHARING tab, so be sure to select the SECURITY tab.
3) A list of user groups and names will appear in the top pane. You may add or remove as you wish. I would keep the administrator's ID in there with full control, but otherwise go to town.
4) Select any user in the top pane and you will then see, and can modify, any of the various permissions in the bottom pane. Simply select or de-select any you wish. Again, I would recommend keeping the administrator with full permissions.
5) If you wish to get fancy, select the ADVANCED button below the permission list. This can get a little more complicated, but certainly is worth poking around.

Best of luck!
