Windows 7 - Prevent Write to Fold but allow write to sub folders

Hi,

I am trying to organise my files and folders better.
Ideally, I would like the "My Documents" folder to be locked so that no files can be saved directly to it.
However, I have sub-folders beneath "My Documents". I want full write facilities to these subfolders.

How can I achieve the above?

You'll need to do this from c:\users\<username>\ and not the Documents link that shows up on the left side in Windows Explorer.
