| | How do I stop other users deleting items in the public folder? Hello, is there any way that I can stop other users from deleting things in the public folder? For example I have put all of my music in the music folder uder the main public folder so that my son can access it. However I dont want him to be able to accidently delete anything, is there a way that I can stop that from happening? I have tried setting permissions and denied write access but all that does is stops him from restoring anything from the recycle bin if he does delete it so that is no good. Any ideas gratefully received. Many thanks in advance Gary |
