Server 2003 - Disable Cascading Folder Deletes

I have users who are accidentally deleting projects (folders and all their sub-folders). I would like to remove the Cascading Delete permissions for all but Administrators. I need a step by step on this please.

Thank you in advance,

cascading delete is a sql function not a file system function. all you can do is remove the delete from the lowest directory and not inherit permissions from upper directories

There is an answer. One of our prior domain admins showed me the permissions property sheet at one time. It might be available on Server 2008 and not on Server 2003, but it does exist.

modus_operandi:

I personally saw the property sheet when our prior domain admin navigated to it, but do not remember how to navigate to it. I'm certain ve3ofa is very knowledgable, but I know what I saw. Navigating to it was not a straight forward process. The issue may be whether it exists only in Server 2008. We have a mix of Server 2003 and 2008.

In SQL Server you can disable cascading delete for specific users/groups, but not in the native file system
