Assuming you have Full Control permission for a folder: Right click file in
Windows Explorer, click Properties, then the Security tab. If "Allow
inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" is checked,
uncheck it. MAKE SURE you click Copy, NOT Remove, when the security
confirmation dialog appears, if you don't want to lose the existing
permission set for the folder. Click Advanced. On the Permissions tab.
Click the name of the user or usergroup for which you want to change
permissions, then click View/Edit. In the Permission Entry dialog that
appears, you can remove Delete access without affecting the other kinds of
Modify access. Click OK. In the Access Control Settings dialog, check
either of the two checkboxes that are applicable for what you want to do.
Click OK. In the Properties dialog, click OK.

Chad
