Hi all

Yes I'm sure I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill here but:

Win2003 server with active directory.

I have a folder "Scanned Drawings" which is a sub-folder of Data1.
Data1 is a mapped drive.
I need to change the permissions on the "Scanned Drawings" folder to avoid
accidental deletion.
Currently this folder is showing inherited permissions with domain users
having full control.
How do I undo the inherited permissions status for "Scanned Drawings"?
How do I update the permissions on this and all sub-folders to restrict
access as mentioned?
Will the permissions of "Scanned Drawings" remain uninherited, or will they
revert?

Basically I believe, once the above is resolved, I need to create a Security
Group - add relevant users to this group - give this group full control of
this folder - alter the permissions for domain users to read/print only.

TIA

Phil
