Sorry for the late reply. I was a bit busy.

Thank you Brink, its solved.

Here is what i wanted to do:

I have a folder with files. There is another person with a user account on the PC who wants to take files from that folder on a portable storage. The files in that folder are very valuble to me. I do not mind that person copying the files. But i do not want them to "cut" or "delete" the files intentionaly or by mistake during the copying. I believe my problem is solved, thanks to Brink and the guide by Dzomlija.

The guide does not specificly apply to my situation so i will explain what i did.

A1. Complete all the 26 steps under Option One.
A2. Right-click on the folder again, and select "Properties", then click the "Security" tab.
A3. Click "Edit", >> "Add", >> "Advanced", >> "Find Now".
A4. Find and highlight the user you want to share the folder with, ie the person you want to let copy the contents but prevent removing any files.
A5. Ok >> Ok
A6. In "permissions for Xyzabc", first check "full control" under "deny".
A7. Then check "Read" under "Allow" so they can open or copy the file.
A8. Ok >> Ok

Done!

If you have more user accounts to share the files with, repeat from step A3.

Hope this helps other dummies like me with this specific situation.
