Hello,

I am using Server 2000 and would like to set the security of some folders in
shared network drive so that certain users have no permission to create
folder. I checked in the Security settings > Advanced, and found that if I
disable "Create folder" permission, it will also disable "Append Data"
permission.

I want to allow users to be able to edit any files in the folder, just limit
them so that they are not able to create new folders. Please help!

Take away the Create Folder / Append Data right in the ACL for regular
users, but add an allow ACL for regular users, only with this right, but
with "Apply onto" set to "files only".

Alternatively, set a deny ACL for Create Folder / Append Data for the normal
users group, but select Apply onto: "This folder only", when doing so. Take
into account that a deny ACL will have precedence over an allow ACL.
Therefore, if administrators are also part of the normal users groups, they
too will not be able to create folders.

Cheers,
Jan.

When in the NTFS permissions dialog, click on Advanced to get beyond
the generic grants view. In the detailed dialog you can select to what a
grant will apply. You sound like you want to grant
List for This folder and subfolders
Modify for Files only
