I have seen a thread in a different NG at Computing.net, that indicated that
this was a Word/Excel problem. The problem was listed as
"I need a network folder that users can save hardcopies of documents into
but cannot be accidentally deleted once they are in there.", which sounds
like yours.
The solution they gave was to
"Set the permissions on the folder to be 'Read&Execute', 'List Folder
Contents', 'Read', and 'Write'. Then go to the Advanced Permissions and
remove the 'Delete' and 'Delete Subfolder and Files' permissions and you are
set."
The thread went on basically between a few people that discovered the error
of "read only folder" was only with Word and Excel, this did not happen with
Wordpad. They believe the error is caused by Office and the behaviour of
creating temp files and deleting them once you save the original. A bit
long winded but I hope it helps.

Hi All
I know this question is not directly related to Thin Client computing, but I
was hoping someone would be able to help.
We would like to set up a 'Hand-In' folder to allow students to drop work in
there. Once the work is in there they must not be able to take the work out,
and they can't look at any other students work. We would then like Staff to
be able to access these files.
I have tried setting various permissions but when the user goes to save work
in the folder the file ends up empty.
Anyone been able to something along these lines?
Cheers!
Tom Norton
