Win 2000 Folder Move Restictions and Delete Questions

Hello,

I have a customer who is becoming impossible to work with. She's
requesting things I've never had to deal with before.
The first is: She wants everyone (5 users) to read, access and update
files and folders that they would normally would given their access
rights on the shares etc..
She wants to be the only one to have the ability to move folders from
one directory to another for fear of a user moving things and not
knowing where it went. Is this possible???

The other thing is, she wants to know if a file or folder deleted from
a network drive (from a mapped drive on the users PC) could go into a
recycle bin or be retrieved in any way.

Sorry if these are dim witted, but I've really never been asked to do
these things.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

George

1. Not that I know of.
2. Not without added software on the server.

Either of these situations is what BACKUP is for. Files that are backed up
on a regular basis can be restored easily and quickly.

I guess the first could be implemented using some nightmarish ACLs; I
did it once for a dozen or so first- and second-level directories. OTOH,
if a directory is misplaced (it happens here every 6 months), it is also
easily found and moved back. If it happens more frequently, I recommend
some training, starting with disconnecting the mouse.

The second is easily covered by switching to NetWare :-)
