NewVillageIT is wright. As soon you can open a file, even if the folder or file his is read only, you can always save it somewhere else. <br />
<br />
But from what i think you are trying to do, it is to find a way to protect what's inside that specific folder so that no ones delete or alter the content of it. correct?<br />
<br />
Do you have any SharePoint site available to you?<br />
<br />
Can can easily put restrictions on folders on sharepoint.
