Yes. This is what I want BUT:
I would like to apply this to folders and if I do, word
will then not be able to save into these folders. I want
to be pro-active with removing delete privileges, not
simply applying this fix after the files have been created.

Do you have any ideas as to whether this is possible and how?

Thanks...
