How to set File sharing on Second Disk from Many Previous Install'

[chrisoborski]

Im trying not to use Simple File Sharing on a second disk that id like to prevent files from being deleted...

Basically i have a second disk that i've used as a second disk on many installs of XP. XP was always set up on the first Disk of C:\ and my mp3's, files, were always on second disk of E:\ . I had some files that were accidentally deleted from the E:\ drive and i want to keep anymore files from being deleted from my music folders. The problem is im wondering if previous installs have left ownership data on folder's or does that stay in the registry?

I've got 6 owners and/Or groups listed.

Basically i'm not sure if i should start removing users such as everyone, Administrator name, or if i should go to the advanced tab and inherit permissions.

I've uploaded two shots of what i'm looking at.

This is on an XP Pro machine...

What is the typical way to "lock down" folders from being deleted?

Thanks
