I would like to stop users creating sub directories on a shared windows 2003 folder. I went to advanced securtiy settings and didn't tick &nbsp;&quot;create folder / append data&quot;.<br />
<br />
This indeed does stop users creating sub - directories but also stops anybody appending data to any exisitng files making the setting a bit redundant.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
