idea - a simple prog to protect files/folder from deletion

<< < (4/4)

f0dder:
wraith808: the delete permission is different from the read-only file attribute; there aren't a lot of programs that mess with NTFS ACLs, so for casual purposes this should be fine.

wraith808:
Ah!  You mean actually revoke delete permissions to the folder- I didn't think of that.  I did indeed think you were referring to the read-only file attribute.

Of course the delete permission can be re-applied if you have the rights to do so... but that's not something normal applications attempt to do when they want to delete a file, hence "I suspect this solution is good enough".
