Newbie Confused over Permissions in 2003 Server

Hi all

Yes I'm sure I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill here but:

Win2003 server with active directory.

I have a folder "Scanned Drawings" which is a sub-folder of Data1.
Data1 is a mapped drive.
I need to change the permissions on the "Scanned Drawings" folder to avoid
accidental deletion.
Currently this folder is showing inherited permissions with domain users
having full control.
How do I undo the inherited permissions status for "Scanned Drawings"?
How do I update the permissions on this and all sub-folders to restrict
access as mentioned?
Will the permissions of "Scanned Drawings" remain uninherited, or will they
revert?

Basically I believe, once the above is resolved, I need to create a Security
Group - add relevant users to this group - give this group full control of
this folder - alter the permissions for domain users to read/print only.

TIA

Phil

Right click on Scanned Drawings and select Properties. Click the Security
tab and the Advanced button. Uncheck the box for Allow inheritable
permission from parent to propagate to this object. Select Remove - Then
Add/Remove permissions as desired - you can apply or not apply them to child
objects as desired.

Thanks Doug

Did a trial on a temp folder just to be sure!
