Prevent users drag/dropping directories

Hi All,

We have had a few problems recently whereby some users have accidentally
moved directories from a shared folder, probably by an an unintended drag &
drop. Any suggestions how I can stop them from being able to do that?

It is primarilly the top level or two of directories I want to protect, some
users need to add/remove various sub-directories. I could maybe prevent
complete moving of the directory by stopping them from being able to delete
the directory but they are still able to cut/paste sub directories or files
to elsewhere.

Nick

You can't. Best you can do is slow down the mouse so it's less likely
to do this.
