Preventing Accidental File Moves on Shared Drive

[kodyleonard]

We have a frequent problem of folders coming up "missing." We soon find out that part or all of a folder structure has been moved to a different folder (sometimes even to a user's local folder). Though we could train everyone on how to locate the files or how to move them back, I'd prefer to prevent the issue altogether.

Is there a way to prevent users from moving folders without taking away their access to modify, write, and use the folder in any way without being able to move it? What security settings specifically would allow this on a Server 2000 or Server 2003 shared folder? I'm almost afraid of the answer since I'm sure I'll have to manually modify each individual folder's security settings on the server.

Any information from those have had tackled with this problem is greatly appreciated!
