Deny "move" access on network files

Tags: deny, move, ntfs, files
Does anybody know of a way to lock down folders using NTFS permissions so that users can do everything except MOVE a file?  I believe the Move ability is tied in with the delete functionality.  Therefore, if I take away delete permissions, the file can't be moved, but then the user is unable to delete as well.

Basically, the problem we have is this:
We have users who are using Windows Explorer to browse our network files.  They accidently click and drag one folder on top of another.  It starts moving the files so they click "Cancel".  Then, we have half of our files in the right location still, and half of the files moved to a wrong location.  This is something that happens VERY frequently, and I need to find some solution for it.  Whether it be NTFS permissions or some other means.

Thanks in advance!!
